Family with terminally ill members in need of help
  • | dtinews.vn | August 10, 2021 11:00 AM
A family in Hanoi are calling for financial support to help cover medical treatment for two family members who are both suffering from cancer.


Pham Thi Tham and her children


Pham Thi Tham in Phi Trach Village, Phuong Tu Commune, has breast cancer and the tumour already spread to the liver and bones. Due to poverty, Tham decided to stay home and buy prescription medication. She said after the outbreak is controlled, she will go to the K Hospital for a check-up and treatment.

"I was shocked after knowing that I was in the fourth stage of breast cancer. I wandered alone and thought of giving up," she said.

Her father-in-law Nguyen Van Hoan was diagnosed with liver cancer the previous year. He also stays home and self-treated.

Before Covid-19, Tham had gone through 12 chemotherapy sessions. The chemicals caused many side effects like swollen limbs and breathing difficulties. In April, she had her ovaries removed as a part of the treatment.

  

Tham's father-in-law


"The pain is unbearable. Sometimes I considered death as the relief but I thought of my children," she said. "All of my hair is gone. I've completed 60% of my treatment when we ran out of money."

Tham's family already borrowed everyone they could and was still unable to pay back the debts. Tham's husband is a car mechanic and he has been out of works since the outbreak occurred. Tham's mother-in-law is too weak to work and has to stay home to take care of small children.

Le Xuan Toan, chairman of Phuong Tu Commune People's Committee said Tham's family is one of the difficult cases in the area.

"I hope they will get help to treat both Tham and her father and raise the children. We can only help them so much because of a limited budget," he said.
