Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Cem afford treatment in Istanbul

Cem was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at Istanbul Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Cem is 53, worked as a bakery worker until June, 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 Istanbul Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,550 goes: • Transport to Istanbul Cancer Centre: $210 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $190 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
