Standing with Fatma: colon cancer treatment costs
Supporting Fatma through colon cancer: medication, transport to the Istanbul Oncology Institute, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇹🇷 34060, Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye547 views
Fatma was diagnosed with colon cancer in April. The oncology team at the Istanbul Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Fatma is 29, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until April, 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 Istanbul 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $190
• Transport to the Istanbul Oncology Institute: $240
• Household costs while unable to work: $570
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you the best, Leyla. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Leyla. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Hobart.
