Standing with Duygu: prostate cancer treatment costs
Supporting Duygu through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Bornova Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world2,794 views
Duygu was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at Bornova Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Duygu is 25, worked as a primary school teacher until July, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Bornova Regional Medical Center 3 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $770
• Transport to Bornova Regional Medical Center: $300
• Household costs while unable to work: $470
With deep gratitude,
Sibel

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Duygu!
It's all in the list in the story. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is the big one at $110, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
good luck, Sibel. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Take care, Sibel. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Tehuacán.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Athens.
Wishing you peace, Sibel. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Bornova.
wishing you the best, Sibel. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Bornova.
