Standing with Burak: stomach cancer treatment costs
Supporting Burak through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Istanbul Cancer Centre, and living costs while He cannot work.
Anywhere in the world1,369 views
Burak was diagnosed with stomach cancer in December. The oncology team at Istanbul Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Burak is 28, worked as a bakery worker until December, 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 Cancer Centre 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,850
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
• Transport to Istanbul Cancer Centre: $210
• Scans and lab work: $190
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love, Leyla. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted
hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Benin City so I could bring a meal!
Sending love, Leyla. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope March is when things finally get easier.
