Standing with Yaowalak: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Bangkok University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand881 views
Yaowalak was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Bangkok University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Yaowalak is 39, worked as a hairdresser until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Bangkok University Hospital 3 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $850 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $210
• Scans and lab work: $380
• Transport to Bangkok University Hospital: $260
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong, Ploy. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Bangkok
So sorry you're going through this, Ploy. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 10 people at work. Love from Hialeah.
Hope it all works out, Ploy. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Bangkok.
Take care. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Glasgow donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Bangkok.
