"I pray for a miracle to come to him. But because in addition to cancer, Mr. Giang has many other underlying diseases such as: respiratory failure, pneumonia, diabetes, tuberculosis, cirrhosis... so his health deteriorates very quickly. Every day I still call to ask about and update the situation. The previous times, when we video called, I saw that he could still smile, but these past few days he has not been able to smile anymore.
According to his daughter and the doctor, for nearly 20 days now, Mr. Giang has not been able to lie down, only sit, because he cannot breathe. He also cannot eat directly because the tumor is pressing on his esophagus, he cannot swallow normally so he has to have a path to eat straight into his stomach.
These past few days, he has been in a lot of pain, unable to sleep all night. His body has shown signs of swelling, swelling. His daughter Ngoc Anh sent me a photo but I didn’t dare look at it. I encouraged him to be optimistic, not to think about anything, and focus on treatment.
Now, the epidemic is complicated, so the hospital only allows one family member to take care of the patient, because everyone who comes to take care of the patient must be tested for Covid-19 very carefully, so in the past few days, only Ngoc Anh has taken care of her father. Her children are outside, cooking food every day and sending it to the security guard to supply her father and her sister in the hospital," artist Tra My revealed further.

"I was touched by everyone's feelings and ashamed of myself. I was too subjective, thinking that I would have two years to complete everything, but that was not the case. Those two years were spent struggling with immense physical pain, considering, deciding, repaying... Mentally, now I am more tense than a guitar string and death is always lurking at the door," said artist Giang Coi.
The male artist also revealed that he reminded his daughter to use all the money people sent him to pay for treatment and not spend it on anything else.
