DTiNews readers have donated VND121.1 million (USD5,260) for a little girl in the central province of Nghe An who faces peritoneal cancer.

Nguyen Thi Thao Ly, 5, in Quy Hop District has been living with the disease since she was just two years old.

  

The little girl is facing peritoneal cancer


Despite being provided with chemotherapy six times, her condition has not yet improved. She was taken to Viet Duc Hospital in Hanoi for the tumour operation and then was taken back to K Hospital for treatment.

In December last year, doctors said that the treatment proved ineffective, so was brought home. But she continued being tortured by great pains, therefore, her parents sent her to Nghe An Tumour Hospital.

According to doctors, now the treatment can only help ease her pains.

The girl is also suffering from a kidney malfunction. The long treatment has caused her parents to sell out everything valuable. Now, they do not know how to have money to continue the treatment.

Meanwhile, her father has lost one eye due to a traffic accident.

Ly’s father Nguyen Van Phi expressed his deep thanks to DTiNews readers for the donation.
