Thuy Doan announced in her blog PokerRoad last September that she's battling cancer. Many of her co-player in poker state her support for her condition by shaving their head bald thus showing a unique form of camaraderie that poker players have.
She is born in Vietnam and migrated to the US after the war when she's still a child with her family. Thuy Doan worked hard to finish college in order for her to help her family live a better life. She just finished here undergraduate degree and at the same time she played poker as a professional player.
During September, she announced on PokerRead that she has cancer and post a blog entitled "Yup, I'm Gonna Go Bald." Many friends and colleagues have been touch by her condition and decided to help her anyway they can.
"2009 was a year for me to become many things: college graduate, full-time poker player, California resident....Never did I expect to become a cancer fighter."
She continued, "The biopsy results came back ... I have an aggressive soft tissue sarcoma in my upper calf. Thenext step is to get a chest scan to see ifthe cancer has spread. After that is chemo to shrink the tumour, then surgery. If chemo doesn't work then amputation is a disturbing possibility. Since my health insurance policy is based in Virginia, I will be going back there soon for treatment."
Months after graduating from undergrad, Thuy had a diagnosis of cancer on her upper left calf/knee. She has an in progress chemotherapy and some poker pros have demonstrated her that they are with her in these hard times. Full Tilt Pro Tom "durrrr" Dwan and PokerStars pro Barry Greenstein have shaved their heads in support of Thuy. Her treatment started freshly and she still has not made any developments, but hopefully with some more time the tumour will be eliminated and she will be able to put these tough times behind her.
The commitment and compassion that she has managed to induce can best be understood by reading an extract from her blog, which highlights her own brave outlook to her condition:
"This is a tough spot but don't feel bad for me. My life is still great. I have amazing people in it, a profession that I'm passionate about, and the potential for an incredible future. It's a life worth fighting for and this cancer is just a hurdle. I won't let it destroy me. I will beat it. Just watch."
