Help Eren through 4 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer
4 rounds of treatment are planned at the Istanbul Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Eren was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in May. The oncology team at the Istanbul Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Eren is 29, worked as a taxi driver until May, 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 Istanbul Oncology Institute 5 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 $3,000 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $340
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,950
• Household costs while unable to work: $430
• Transport to the Istanbul Oncology Institute: $280
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength, İpek. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Wishing you peace, İpek. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eren.
So sorry you're going through this, İpek. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Jimma.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Istanbul.
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Istanbul.
