He was treated at a traditional medicine facility, his family said that at that time his health was stable, some artists visited and filmed short clips showing that he could sit and chat, even sing with comedian Tan Hoang.

But now he also has many underlying diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes and ischemic heart disease - factors that make the progression of kidney failure faster and more complicated.

At the hospital where he is being treated, doctors have placed a hand bridge in preparation for regular dialysis. He is being treated according to a specialized protocol with a strict diet: low protein, limited salt, fat and red meat. Despite his declining health, he still tries to eat moderately, talk clearly and persevere in physical therapy every day.
