Jasmina’s Battle Against Cancer – How You Can Help
My name is Sefika Sabic, and I am creating this GoFundMe for my cousin, Jasmina Hodzic, who has been battling for several years against multiple forms of cancer.
Jasmina’s battle began in 2020, when she was initially diagnosed with bladder cancer. Since then, her life has been a nonstop cycle of surgeries, hospital stays, and chemotherapy. A year later, she was diagnosed with colon cancer, which required multiple surgeries leading to 80% of her colon being removed. Not long after, she was also diagnosed with skin cancer, which was surgically treated at Roswell Park Cancer Center in Buffalo.
Jasmina then faced liver cancer, requiring two major surgeries and the removal of 30% of her liver, also at Roswell. Her recovery was extremely difficult — she suffered from sepsis, bowel obstruction, and spent months on total IV nutrition, fighting just to survive.
After enduring intensive chemotherapy and years of treatment, we hoped the worst was behind her. Sadly, her cancer has now returned in her pelvic area and spread to her lymph nodes. Roswell Cancer Center has since discharged her, stating they are unable to help further. Doctors at Utica Oncology have recommended starting chemotherapy again, and she is now being referred to Boston Cancer Center for a second opinion and possible advanced treatment.
Jasmina is a fighter — but this journey has taken a huge emotional, physical, and financial toll on her and her family.
We are asking for your help so Jasmina can:
• Cover travel expenses to Boston and other cancer centers
• Pay for treatments, chemotherapy, and specialist consultations
• Handle medical bills, medications, and testing
• Cover basic living expenses while she is unable to work
No one should have to choose between fighting for their life and worrying about how to pay for it.
Every donation, share, and prayer means more than words can express. Even if you are unable to donate, sharing Jasmina’s story helps us reach more people who may be able to.
Thank you for standing with Jasmina in her fight. ❤️
Jasminina borba protiv raka – Kako možete pomoći
Moje ime je Sefika Sabic i pokrećem ovu GoFundMe kampanju za svoju rodicu Jasminu Hodžić, koja se već godinama bori sa više oblika raka.
Jasminina borba je počela 2020. godine, kada joj je dijagnosticiran rak mokraćne bešike. Od tada njen život je neprekidan niz operacija, boravaka u bolnici i hemoterapija. Godinu kasnije dijagnosticiran joj je rak debelog crijeva, zbog čega je morala imati više operacija pri čemu joj je uklonjeno 80% debelog crijeva. Nedugo nakon toga dijagnosticiran joj je i rak kože, koji je hirurški uklonjen u Roswell Park Cancer Centeru u Buffalu.
Zatim se Jasmina suočila sa rakom jetre, što je zahtijevalo dvije velike operacije i uklanjanje 30% jetre, također u Roswell centru. Njen oporavak je bio izuzetno težak — imala je sepsu, začepljenje crijeva i provela je mjesece na potpunoj ishrani putem infuzije, boreći se da preživi.
Nakon intenzivnih hemoterapija i godina liječenja, nadali smo se da je najgore iza nje. Nažalost, rak se sada vratio u predjelu karlice i proširio na limfne čvorove. Roswell Cancer Center ju je otpustio uz obrazloženje da joj više ne mogu pomoći. Ljekari iz Utica Oncology preporučili su ponovnu hemoterapiju, a sada se upućuje u Boston Cancer Center na drugo mišljenje i moguće naprednije liječenje.
Jasmina je borac — ali ova borba je ostavila ogroman emocionalni, fizički i finansijski teret na njoj i njenoj porodici.
Molimo vas za pomoć kako bi Jasmina mogla:
• pokriti troškove putovanja do Bostona i drugih centara za liječenje raka
• platiti terapije, hemoterapiju i preglede kod specijalista
• pokriti medicinske račune, lijekove i testiranja
• pokriti osnovne životne troškove dok nije u mogućnosti da radi
Niko ne bi trebao birati između borbe za život i brige kako da to plati.
Svaka donacija, dijeljenje i molitva znače više nego što riječima možemo izraziti. Ako niste u mogućnosti donirati, dijeljenjem Jasminine priče pomažete da dopremo do ljudi koji možda mogu.
Hvala vam što stojite uz Jasminu u njenoj borbi. ❤️
