Emine's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at the Bornova Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇹🇷 Bornova, İzmir, Türkiye935 views
In December I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at the Bornova Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in March. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 46, I worked as a bus conductor until December, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Bornova Oncology Institute 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $210
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Emine
It's all in the list in the story. scans and lab work is the big one at $210, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
hope it all works out, Emine. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
