Fighting colon cancer: help Gamze afford treatment in Kadıköy
Supporting Gamze through colon cancer: medication, transport to Kadıköy Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye3,275 views
In August I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at Kadıköy Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 29, I worked as a construction supervisor until August, 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 Kadıköy Cancer Centre 2 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,950
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Transport to Kadıköy Cancer Centre: $290
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $200
• Household costs while unable to work: $430
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing you peace, Gamze. This could happen to any of us. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you peace, Gamze. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Accra
you're not alone, Gamze. Wishing Gamze a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best
shared this with my family. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
