SINGAPORE – A Singaporean woman who was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer while in the United States will soon be able to reunite with her family here, after the public raised more than $300,000 to fund her trip home.
Arrangements have been made to put Ms Lerine Liu, 42, on an air ambulance operated by International SOS (ISOS) on Thursday (May 28) morning United States time.
Ms Liu, whose cancer has spread to her bones, one of her lungs and liver, will be accompanied by a medical team comprising a doctor and nurse.
The flight will depart from Canada to pick Ms Liu from New Jersey, where she is currently hospitalised in the Saint Michael’s Medical Centre in Newark. Her bills are being covered by an assistance programme under the New Jersey State Department of Health.
The plane will make refuelling stops in Russia, South Korea and Taiwan, before arriving here on Saturday, around 4am Singapore time.
Ms Liu’s sister Felicia Liew said on Tuesday that she is grateful for the donations and support from the public.
