Sung-min's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

Sung-min is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Sung-min was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Seoul University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Sung-min is 37, worked as a nurse until July, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Seoul University Hospital 2 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,850 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270 • Scans and lab work: $530 • Transport to Seoul University Hospital: $370 • Household costs while unable to work: $680 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Jun-seo

  • is there anything that isn't money that would help Sung-min?

    • hope things get better soon, Jun-seo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Nottingham.

      • Best of luck, Jun-seo. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Swansea so I could bring a meal. Love from Bronx.

        • Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care!

          • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sung-min

              Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is $270 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.

          • Rooting for you. Wishing Sung-min a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

            • Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Jakarta Barat this morning. Greetings from Jakarta Barat
