Fighting multiple myeloma: help Kübra afford treatment in Üsküdar
Kübra is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇹🇷 Türkiye3,212 views
Kübra was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Üsküdar Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Kübra is 46, worked as a bus conductor 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 Üsküdar Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,700
• Scans and lab work: $290
• Transport to Üsküdar Cancer Centre: $130
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $180
• Household costs while unable to work: $300
Glad we found this place.

wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Greetings from Marseille.
Wishing Kübra a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Düsseldorf but we're thinking of you.
Keep going, Murat. Wishing Kübra a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Bhaktapur
sending strength, Murat. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Üsküdar.
