Phat, a 75-year-old farmer, is married with three sons and two daughters. He likes to stay at home and listen to the news on the radio.
Two years ago, Phat developed skin cancer in his left ear, and the mass is slowly growing. He experiences pain and difficulty hearing. The medication he is using is not helping with his symptoms.
When Phat learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On October 7, CSC surgeons performed an excision and flap surgery to remove the cancerous mass.
After recovery, Phat can continue his work as a farmer. Now, he needs help to fund this $224 procedure.
“I hope to have a normal ear without pain,” he says.
