Help Serkan through 4 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer
Supporting Serkan through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Istanbul University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye2,709 views
Serkan was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in June. The oncology team at Istanbul University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Serkan is 56, worked as a taxi driver 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 University Hospital 4 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 $2,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,750
• Scans and lab work: $270
• Transport to Istanbul University Hospital: $195
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90
• Household costs while unable to work: $195
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope you get there. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Istanbul.
