Orhan's stomach cancer treatment fund
Supporting Orhan through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Üsküdar Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇹🇷 Üsküdar, Istanbul, Türkiye3,389 views
In May I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Üsküdar Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 24, I worked as a primary school teacher until May, 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 Üsküdar Cancer Centre 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 $2,800 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,650
• Scans and lab work: $410
• Transport to Üsküdar Cancer Centre: $175
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130
• Household costs while unable to work: $435
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
