Ömer's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Supporting Ömer through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Antalya Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world3,271 views
In August I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Antalya Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 29, I worked as a shop owner until August, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Antalya Regional Medical Center 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,100
• Scans and lab work: $320
• Transport to Antalya Regional Medical Center: $330
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
• Household costs while unable to work: $530
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
So sorry you're going through this, Ömer. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Antalya.
Thank you. If you're in Antalya I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Antalya. I'll ask around and let you know.
Hope it all works out, Ömer. This could happen to any of us

Good luck, Ömer. Shared it with a few friends. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
