October 31 in Hanoi with Tien: Cancer Mission accomplished, meeting the Cardiostart Team

Hi all,

Today I had a meeting with BS Duc Chinh in planning our next week surgery schedule.
Dang Van Kien was there, he is scheduled to have his surgery on Tuesday Nov 3. Dr. Aubyn Marath is carrying "tissue valve" to perform this heart surgery for Kien.
I am hoping we can start performing heart surgery on Tuesday. Each day we will try to perform at least one patient. Some of these patients were referring from East Meets West Foundation.
Viet Duc still has not get all of our medical equipments from Custom in Hai Phong, they told us they will get them hopefully by this week or next week. If we use our equipments & supplies, there will be no charge to patients.
Everyday we have more team members fly from many states come to Vietnam. Tonight Oct 31, I will say good bye to my colorectal team & welcome our Cardiostart mission team to Ha Noi.
Keep us in your thoughts & prayers.  Til next time,
Tien
