A 37-year-old man is facing a medical emergency after extensive blood clots affected his left leg and travelled to his lungs. His family is appealing for public support to help cover the cost of a specialised clot-removal device that doctors may recommend.
Cheong Chee Seng, an only son, was at home helping his 80-year-old father move some things when he suddenly felt numbness in his left leg. The weakness worsened, and his family rushed him to hospital. His leg had become swollen, cold and purplish.
Further scans revealed a mass measuring around 6 to 7 centimetres in his left testicle and a growth nearly 15 centimetres in his abdomen, surrounding several major blood vessels.
Doctors suspect a malignant testicular tumour that may have spread to abdominal lymph nodes. Further tests and specialist assessments are needed to confirm the diagnosis and determine treatment.
The medical team is also assessing how best to manage the blood clots.
If doctors determine he is suitable, they may use a FlowTriever device to remove clots from the pulmonary arteries. The device alone is estimated to cost RM40,000; this amount does not include the full procedure or other medical expenses.
Chee Seng has worked hard to support himself, including as a hairstylist, a small-business owner and, more recently, a Grab driver. After his business failed, he was left with debt, but continued working to make ends meet.
Now, his elderly parents are facing an uncertain and frightening situation. His 77-year-old mother was overcome with emotion when she learned how serious his condition may be. The family says they cannot afford the device cost on their own.
“If I can recover, the one thing I want most is to stop making my elderly parents worry about me,” Chee Seng said.
The family is appealing for RM40,000 to help cover the cost of the FlowTriever device, should it be recommended by his doctors. Any contribution, share or message of encouragement would mean a great deal as they navigate the urgent medical assessments and treatment ahead.
