Taner's prostate cancer treatment fund

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

Taner was diagnosed with prostate cancer in December. The oncology team at the Gaziantep Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Taner is 40, worked as a construction supervisor 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 the Gaziantep Oncology Institute 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200 • Scans and lab work: $185 • Transport to the Gaziantep Oncology Institute: $160 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $165 • Household costs while unable to work: $540 I hope life is good to you.
