Dallas
Việt was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at Dallas Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Việt is 36, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Dallas Regional Medical Center 4 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 $10,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500 • Scans and lab work: $790 • Transport to Dallas Regional Medical Center: $870 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $750 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,840 Thank you for reading my story. - Liên

  • Good luck. Wishing Việt a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

      Sending love. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Abbottabad.

        how is Việt doing now?

        • Best of luck, Liên. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Dallas.

          • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Việt

              Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($6,500) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.

          • Hang in there, Liên. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Dallas.

            • Good luck, Liên. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

              • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Việt?

                • Thinking of you, Liên. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

                  • thanks for sharing this, Liên. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Kyoto donated after I showed her your page.

                    • thinking of you, Liên. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 7 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                      • Wishing you peace, Liên. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best

                          • take care, Liên. I hope things turn around soon. All the best!

                            • Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
