Myint is a 53-year-old woman from Burma. In her free time, Myint loves to plant vegetables and dry palm leaves to sell as material for thatched roofs. She also enjoys making donations to the village temple.
In December, Myint noticed a painful bulge in her lower abdomen. She went to a nearby village clinic, where they identified the mass but could not treat it. After returning home, Myint relied on traditional medicines, but they did not provide relief. Her pain has continued, making sitting uncomfortable.
This month, Myint traveled with her daughter to our medical partner’s care center, Mae Sot General Hospital. There, doctors performed a blood test and an ultrasound. On January 18, she will also undergo a CT scan. The results of this scan will help her doctors form a treatment plan. Our medical partner is requesting $414 to fund this procedure.
