Standing with Emine: cervical cancer treatment costs

Emine is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Ankara

Emine was diagnosed with cervical cancer in June. The oncology team at the Ankara Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Emine is 43, worked as a bank teller until June, 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 the Ankara Oncology Institute 4 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 $2,750 goes: • Scans and lab work: $430 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,650 • Transport to the Ankara Oncology Institute: $145 • Household costs while unable to work: $525 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Murat
