Nguyen Giang Nam, 69, was diagnosed with the last stage of lung cancer in 2019 while taking care of his 38-year-old son Nguyen Van Hung who was being treated for esophageal cancer at a local hospital.
"My husband was found to have the disease just after a month our son was diagnosed with it," Nam's wife Nguyen Thi Tinh said. "He refused treatment to save money to save our son. We've had to persuade him to come back to the hospital while trying to borrow money from others to cover the treatment."
According to the son's wife Le Thi Cuc, he also wanted to leave the hospital many times after seeing the family running out of money after four years of treatment.
"We've incurred a debt of over VND300 million," Cuc said. "I don't know where to borrow more. Meanwhile, Hung was worried about the life of our three small children."
Chairman of the Thanh Huong Commune Red Cross Association, Nguyen Tu Duan, said that Nam's family has run out of money after the father and son had cancer.
"We've also called for financial support from local people and raised over VND22 million for them but they need much more to continue treatment," Duan said. "I hope that they will receive more support from the community."
