Help Hoang Get Neuro Surgery
Donation protected
My family and I have set up this page for my father, Hoang Vu, in hopes that we can raise the funds needed for him to get surgery to remove a brain tumor.
In mid-August 2020, my father went for a CT scan because he was experiencing auditory problems, deteriorating eyesight, and memory problems. From this CT scan, a massive brain tumor was discovered. His neurologist said she has never seen a brain tumor this size before. His tumor was diagnosed as a chordoma, a rare type of cancerous malignant tumor. My father's tumor has grown into both sides of his brain, flattening the right ventral midbrain and cerebral peduncle. The tumor has also spread into his nasal cavity.
Due to the widespread of the tumor throughout the brain and nasal cavity, my father requires a specialized team and facility that is able to have two surgeries performed at once (a neurosurgeon and maxillofacial surgeon). His neurosurgeon explained that due to the fact that this will be a complicated surgery, there is not a facility in his home state (Arizona) that would be well equipped to perform this surgery once and do it well. Any reoccurring surgery will become exponentially more complicated and dangerous.
We have been referred to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas to receive a consultation and have his surgery done there. Unfortunately, all of this will have to be out-of-pocket as the facility does not accept his insurance, so we desperately need your help.
Our family understands that there is a lot of heartache and hardships out there at the moment due to COVID-19. Any amount that you are able to contribute towards this life-saving surgery will be appreciated from the bottom of our hearts.
Please help us spread the word of this campaign by sharing.
Thank you all so much.
God bless.
