A poor ethnic minority couple in Son La Province is calling for financial support to help treat their small daughter who is suffering from retinoblastoma.




One-year-old Ngan Thi Dao is suffering from retinoblastoma

Ngan Van Thuan and his wife have just brought their one-year-old daughter Ngan Thi Dao to the Hanoi-based National Hospital of Ophthalmology for a check-up after seeing some problems with her eyes. And the couple were shocked after doctors said that their little daughter had retinoblastoma in both eyes.

"We've never heard about retinoblastoma but we know that cancer was life-threatening," the poor father said in tears. "My little daughter is suffering from pain and she's crying a lot. I wish that I could carry the pain of the disease for her."

The couple, who are from Thai ethnic group and come from the remote mountainous district of Quynh Nhai, decided to sell their farm to raise money to pay the hospital fees for their small child.


Doctor Pham Minh Chau from the National Hospital of Ophthalmology said that Dao is having retinoblastoma in both eyes but the left eye is more serious.

"We have had to remove her left eye while trying to treat the right eye with a 50 percent chance of success," the doctor said. "Even if it was successfully treated, its eyesight will be very poor."

Doctors said that the treatment would be long and costly but the poor couple are running out of money. They hope to receive support from the community so that they can save the life of their child.
