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.

Bornova
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

                Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Bornova.
