Ebru's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

Ebru is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Ebru was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at the Bornova Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Ebru is 44, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Bornova Oncology Institute 3 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,400 goes: • Transport to the Bornova Oncology Institute: $250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $135 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,015 Glad we found this place.
