Patient Tran Van Tai had many tumors, including a 12cm mediastinal tumor when admitted to the hospital. He was always in a state of difficulty breathing and had to use oxygen. After chemotherapy, the size of the mediastinal tumor decreased to 2cm, and now he has 4 rounds of chemotherapy left.

This amount was taken from the charity fund by a number of officials, civil servants, businesses, workers in Vinh city and friends from their monthly income to support difficult circumstances./.
