"I hope to live for a few more years, watching my son reach adulthood at the age of 18, and taking care of my mother for a few more years, so that she can enjoy her twilight years." This is the wish of Hu Manling, a 45-year-old breast cancer patient with stage 4, and the way to extend her life is One injection of hormonal therapy at one's own expense every 3 months. The cost per injection is about 2,800 yuan. However, for the Manling family, whose family savings are only 100 yuan and need to live on CSSA, 2,800 yuan is an astronomical figure and cannot afford it. , Man Ling hopes that people with kind hearts can help raise money for injections and medicines, so as to prolong life, watch her son grow up and accompany her mother to the end of his life.
During the visit, or listening to her mother praising her for being well-behaved, Didi, who didn't understand the reaction for a while, nestled beside her mother with a tender smile on her face full of happiness.

In 2008, Man Ling and her husband entered the marriage hall. One year later, she became pregnant and gave birth to her son Di Di. The original family of three was harmonious. Unexpectedly, about 9 months after Di Di was born, in early 2011, Man Ling found a tumor on her left breast. After examination, it was found that the right breast also had shadows. Man Ling once told her husband to have an operation. "She had a cold reaction. I was really helpless at the time. It was so hard." Her husband's gradual alienation caused a change in the relationship between the couple and the divorce. .
In the hesitation, Man Ling obeyed her mother’s decision and cut her breasts in mid-2011. She thought that life should gradually return to normal after the operation, but God’s will made her move. About a few months after the operation, the doctor found cancer during her examination for Man Ling. The cells have spread to the bones and lungs. From 2012 to 2015, Man Ling continued to undergo chemotherapy and electrotherapy. She had to rely on her mother to take care of her body and take care of her young Didi. "Electrotherapy and chemotherapy are very hard, okay. From the small to the big, I’m so good to go to the hospital with me.” During the visit, or listening to her mother praise her for her good behavior, Didi, who didn’t know how to react for a while, nestled beside her with a tender smile on her face full of happiness. .
Man Ling recalled that one time she needed to go to the hospital for surgery. She sent Didi to the kindergarten before going to the hospital. At 4 pm, after anesthesia, she immediately called her son. Staying with you, you will come back soon, you really need dozens of stitches and it hurts instantly."
After several years of chemotherapy, Man Ling's condition was gradually under control in 2015. In order to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, the doctor advised Man Ling to inject hormonal injections at her own expense. She currently needs one injection in 3 months at a cost of about 2,800 per injection. Yuan, fortunately, under the control of the injection, Manling's cancer index is very stable, but Manling is currently financially unable to afford medical expenses.
After the operation, Man Ling's family was impoverished and left alone. She was judged to be unable to work due to her illness. After her ex-husband divorced, she did not pay alimony. The family of three lived on CSSA payment of about RMB 15,000 per month. The living expenses were nothing but clothing, food, housing, transportation, lights, oils, etc. Wax, tuition fees for his son, and thousands of yuan in Chinese medicine expenses for himself and his mother, etc., are struggling to live.
His son Didi and her 68-year-old mother are Man Ling's biggest concerns now.

When faced with financial difficulties, I was also under pressure on my mind.
Didi, who is studying in Primary Five at the age of 10, was diagnosed as suffering from lack of concentration and severe hyperactivity when she was in K2; Man Ling’s 68-year-old mother had knee degeneration in recent years and was inconvenient to move, so she needed someone to look after her at all times. She fell, and the burden of caring for the family fell on Man Ling. "I was forced to bury her. I am like a half beggar in my family. The government does not support the family of cancer patients, and also bury a SEN (special (Learning needs) Aberdeen, you have to support it yourself, do it yourself, and relieve it yourself. I don’t have to pay for the medicine and not every organization has it."
Man Ling's illness is easy to relapse or spread
Man Ling is a case supported by the Cancer Information Network Charity Fund. Fang Jiayi, Chairman of the Cancer Information Network Charity Fund, said that Man Ling now needs acupuncture treatment every 3 months, and injects hormonal acupuncture at her own expense. He needs about 15,000 yuan a year. fee.
However, because Man Ling's condition is more likely to relapse or spread, she is worried that her condition will worsen in the future, and she will need targeted drugs or other treatments, and medical expenses will be even greater at that time.
Fang Jiayi said that taking the acupuncture medicines currently available on the market for breast cancer patients, usually 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per injection, one injection every three weeks, for CSSA families, it is impossible to afford it.
Man Ling revealed that the family’s savings are less than 100 yuan and cannot pay for the injections and medicines at all. She hopes that kind people can help crowdfund the injections and medicines in order to prolong life. "I don’t think about it. I just want to raise money for the injections and medicines. , I hope to continue my life and stay with me until I am 18 years old. My mother is too old and in good health. I hope that she can take care of her in her lifetime, so that she can enjoy her twilight years and settle her two well, so that I will be successful."
