Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc, 19, from Hoa An Commune in Phu Hoa District, has just returned home after being treated at Cho Ray Hospital in HCM City. She is allowed to stay at home for ten days before returning to the hospital for further treatment.
"She was too weak to receive more chemotherapy treatments so doctors said she would need to wait for her health to improve before continuing the therapy," Ngoc's mother, Nguyen Thi Nhe, said.
According to the mother, Ngoc is a student at HCM City Transportation University. Early this year, bruises suddenly appeared on her arms and legs, and she often felt tired and lost weight. When she went for a check-up, the doctors said that she had Leukemia.
The chemotherapy treatments caused Ngoc to lose her hair
The mother was shocked at the bad news. She borrowed VND50 million (USD1,996) from her relatives to take Ngoc to the hospital for treatment. The money quickly ran out after several chemotherapy treatments.
Before being ill, Ngoc worked part-time to cover her study fees and support the family.
Now, the family's income mainly depends on Ngoc's father, who is a porter at a local market.

According to Nhe, in some days, her daughter will have to return to Cho Ray Hospital, but she can't afford further treatment.
Nguyen Nhu Tao, chairman of Hoa An Commune's Fatherland Front, said Ngoc's family is impoverished. He hoped Dantri/DTiNewsj's readers could learn about the case and help.
