A mother who is suffering from cancer has ignored her health and worked hard in order to raise two children in Phu Yen Province.


  

Nhung and her children

Truong Thi Nhung and her family are living in a small house in My Thanh Village. Nhung is suffering from choriocarcinoma, fast-growing cancer that occurs in a woman's uterus. She has to several radiotherapy sessions but she can't stay at home to rest since Nhung and her husband still have to work to treat their eldest son who is deaf, mute and has congenital heart disease.

"After Bao was born, I and my husband spend more time at the hospitals than at home," Nhung said. "After borrowing money to treat Bao, we do any work we can in order to earn money. We tried everything but his condition hasn't changed."

Their second son was slower than other children and then in April, Nhung was diagnosed with choriocarcinoma while her husband was diagnosed with severe helicobacter pylori infection.

Each month, Nhung has to go to HCM City four times for radiotherapy treatment. Each trip costs her VND2m (USD2m) to VND10m. In October, she had to stay home as the money ran out. This is also the time when her second son's situation worsened. Doctors said he needed heart surgery but the family can't afford it.

Le Thi Kim Chung, vice chairwomen of Hoa Thang Commune, said, "The family is given benefits for poor families. We are also calling for help from the community. However, to pay for treatments for all members of Nhung's family is not a simple problem. I hope they will receive more help to overcome difficulties."
