Hasan was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at the Kadıköy Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Hasan is 49, worked as a hairdresser until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Kadıköy Oncology Institute 2 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,100 • Scans and lab work: $270 • Transport to the Kadıköy Oncology Institute: $290 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150 • Household costs while unable to work: $340 Glad we found this place. - Özlem

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hasan

    • Özlem Büşra AvcıOwnerAnswerPhoto verified3h ago

      Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $2,100. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.

  • Travis T. Fisher3h ago

    Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

    • Ayesha Taslima Banerjee3h ago

      Praying for you, Özlem. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 10 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Yogyakarta.
