Yong's stomach cancer treatment fund
Supporting Yong through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Hialeah Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 United States7,024 views
In January I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Hialeah Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in May. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 34, I worked as a bank teller until January, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Hialeah Regional Medical Center 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $14,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,750
• Scans and lab work: $1,900
• Transport to Hialeah Regional Medical Center: $530
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $900
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,120
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope things get better soon, Yong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Veracruz.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yong
Hope things get better soon, Yong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up.
Good luck. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours
Stay strong, Yong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Yong. Hope the doctors have good news. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
sending strength, Yong. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
