Ko Day is a 59-year-old farmer from Burma.
In January, Ko Day underwent surgery to remove an abnormal growth on his eye. The removed tissue was sent for biopsy, and the result showed malignancy, meaning Ko Day would need further treatment.
Ko Day’s doctor was unsure if the cancer had spread, so he ordered a CT scan of Ko Day’s chest and abdomen, which was funded by Watsi donors. The results were thankfully clear. Ko Day is now able to move forward with radiation therapy. However, the doctor still needs to determine the specific location for the radiation and has requested another CT scan to be done on Ko Day’s eye.
On March 21, Ko Day will receive this treatment at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, our medical partner’s care center. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is asking for $469 to fund Ko Day’s CT scan.
After treatment, Ko Day is looking forward to having his eyesight back!
