Mother calls for help for life-saving surgery
  • | dtinews.vn | March 30, 2017 11:00 AM
A mother in Hai Duong Province is in need of help to treat her 16-year-old son who is suffering from two cancerous diseases at the same time.

Nguyen Van Tuyen was diagnosed with leukaemia nine years ago while his parents have kidney failure. When their story was first published in 2014, many people called and helped him to go to hospital.

Recently, he has been diagnosed with bone cancer which makes his leg swell up. Tuyen is unable to move and has to depend on his mother for everything.

Bui Thi Thoan, Tuyen's mother, said the family had nothing left after nine years trying to cure Thoan of leukaemia.

"I want nothing for myself. We are grateful for everyone help three years ago and don't know when we can repay your help. But in the past months, since we are forced to bring him home as money ran out, he is always in pain. The tissues on his leg and butt are starting to die," she said.

Nguyen Van Quy, Tuyen's father, said it is painful seeing his son like this but he didn't know what to do. His own health is also deteriorating.

"Doctors said he responded to the treatments of leukaemia well and was getting better. Then suddenly, he said his leg hurt. The doctors at the National Institute of Haematology and Blood Transfusion invited doctors from Vietnam National Cancer Hospital to check on him and they concluded that he had bone cancer," he said.

According to the doctors, they can prevent cancer from spreading by removing the leg but knowing that the family has no money left, Tuyen asked to be taken home. They can only borrow money to buy pain killers, hire people to clean his necrosis and carry out urinary catheterisation.

"It's really hurt, I just want this leg to be removed," Tuyen said.

Tran Trong Hoach, head of Thanh Xa Village also hoped that the community can help Tuyen and his family to overcome the difficulties.
