The preschool teacher quit her job to save her brain tumor

In school, the school collapsed, unconscious, 2 legs of the school weakened, then came to hand, then even paralyzed. After a long time of testing, doctors discovered that there were many tumors in the brain that inserted nerves that made the school paralyzed. Ms. Yen had to quit her job to pursue the treatment process for her children.

In the cramped motel room on Tran Van Muoi Street (Hamlet 3, Xuan Thoi Thuong Commune, Hoc Mon District, Ho Chi Minh City), although the fan turned around, Nguyen Thi Hai Yen (born in 1985) still did not use her hand Wet clean baby Pham Thai Truong (born in 2010). Because she fears the heat makes her brain tumor disease worse, prone to convulsive or painful complications to torture her child.

Talking about the hard days that my family is going through, Ms. Yen said: “When I finish high school, I will return to my hometown in Long Dien district, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province to get married. Being a preschool teacher for a period of time, my husband and I set aside to invest in opening a private preschool class at home so life is stable. Just for a few years, the misfortune of coming to a row makes my family miserable! ”.

Firstly, her father Yen (61 years old) had a catastrophe, though she was fortunate to escape, she and her husband had to borrow a large amount of money to treat his father. During the worrying days of her husband's illness, Yen's mother also had a stroke. In order to have money to treat her mother and pay her debts earlier, in 2017, Yen and her husband closed their preschool classes, sold their houses and packed up the remaining assets to Ho Chi Minh City to seek a living.

When I came to HCMC, my husband and my two children rented a room to stay. Mr. Pham Quang Sinh (her husband Yen) asked to work as a hired laborer for a pork stall in the Hoc Mon wholesale market. Ms. Yen returned to her old job, asked to work as a teacher at a private kindergarten. Only after working for a while, on March 26, 2018, Ms. Yen had a seizure fever affecting nerve 7, distorted one side of her face, her eyes were not closed, weak on one side ...

Despite being so, but because of her livelihood, Yen still tried to go to work, free weekends to go to hospital for treatment. When Ms. Yen is treating distorted face sequelae, she heard that Pham Thai Truong fell while going to school, then went home to lie motionless. Too frightened, the family went to visit, discovered inside the baby's right brain there are 3 large tumors, brain compression makes him weak, pain all over and not move. Listening to Thai Truong suffered from a serious illness, Yen had to give up and treat her to put more effort into her child.

“From the beginning of April 2018, Truong was often suffering from headaches, vomiting, and sometimes suddenly fell flat and fell down, climbed the stairs very badly ... Sometimes he went to school to get a scratch on his wife My husband still thought of being beaten by teachers and friends. Ask the child, he said he fell, suddenly stood down. At that time I was in the hospital so I didn't pay much attention. Unexpectedly, in the middle of April 2018, the teacher reported that the child was unconscious at school, the whole family panicked and went to the emergency department to see that the baby was weakened without any cause, after the newly discovered MRI of the brain. In the baby's head, there are 3 tumors that suppress the brain, ”said Yen.

Yen recalled the horrifying moments: "I was so scared at the time. One hand Truong kept hugging his head and hurting, and the other hand with one side of his body was almost completely paralyzed, unable to move. He kept saying "Mom, save me! Mom, save me! "I could only cry. I had to quit teaching to take him to all hospitals in this city for treatment. After nearly half a month of testing and monitoring the baby's illness, the doctors at Children's Hospital decided to dissect tumors in the brain so that it would not suppress the brain. ”

After surgery to remove part of the tumor for symptomatic treatment, the University continued to be tested and found to have diffuse large cell lymphoma, a rare disease for children, if not treated completely, the blocks u will still continue to appear. Therefore, from 5/2018, the school must go to Cancer Hospital for chemical treatment. At the same time, he must participate in physical therapy because after the operation, the school hardly moved, could not speak.

Ms. Yen confided: "At that time, I had to be there for 24/24. At the time, I took care of my child with fever and fever, and when my grandchildren came, I mobilized my arms and legs to make her healthy. Thanks to the School's response to good medicine, after three chemotherapy and physical therapy sessions, she was able to stand up and stand up, and she could speak even while babbling. Because of that, I hope so much. But indeed at this time, my family no longer has the ability to pursue the next treatment process because of the economic exhaustion. ”

Currently, her whole family lives on the wages of her husband's rented pork, the wage is VND 300,000 / day, which day and field of that day. And she stayed at the hospital to take care of the school, she almost dared to eat charity meals. Her older child who is in grade 7 must go to sell lottery tickets to earn money for her mother to take care of her.

For nearly a year, in order to have money to treat her and for her school, Yen borrowed VND 50 million from relatives and then, when she could not manage, she had to borrow VND 50 million with a profit of VND 30,000. VND / 1 million / month.

Ms. Yen clicked her tongue and said, "After the brain surgery, the school has completed the semester long exam, but the teachers love the school. Therefore, they should organize a test for their own test so that it can qualify for the 3rd grade. but how to go to the toilet and go to the toilet to take care of it, how to go to school. If the prescription comes without money, I don't know if I can stand up anymore .. ”.

Ms. Yen was afraid that the school would leave me soon because the next batch of medicines she could not manage to get tens of millions of VND to let her into medicine.
