Treatment of neuroblastoma in Turkey

Thanks to the efforts of doctors at the Memorial Clinic, in Ankara, Sofia for 3 years in full remission

When my daughter Maryasha was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, our Israeli relatives organized a trip for treatment. Chemotherapy was planned and the prognosis was not the best. But after 2 courses there was improvement, there was an opportunity to take bone marrow for autotransplantation. After 4 courses, the neuroblastoma itself, which had shrunk to tiny sizes, was removed during surgery. And even after two courses, it was possible to perform bone marrow autotransplantation. Maryasha is currently in remission.

But after the second course, the tumor was seriously reduced, and the bone marrow was cleared. It became possible to take cells for transplantation. After the fourth chemotherapy, a very tiny tumor was removed, after the sixth, bone marrow was transplanted. For a long time, there were not enough cells for the second transplant, which was performed according to the protocol. But then the transplant was done surprisingly quickly – in 21 days.

Maryana is currently in remission.

My brother had neuroblastoma. He underwent two courses of chemotherapy here in the Krasnodar Territory, but there was no significant improvement, the size of the tumor did not allow it to be operated on, so the prognosis was poor.

I sent a request to Achibadema Hospital and they replied that they could help. We were welcomed very well in Turkey, they brought us from the airport to the clinic, the doctor gave us a lot of time, quickly did all the examinations.

Initially, chemotherapy was prescribed. After that, the tumor was removed and she was observed in the clinic for some time. Today, my brother and I have already returned home. I have the best memories of the hospital and staff. Everyone is very friendly and strives to provide comfort. We always had a Russian-speaking guide with us. The only downside is that it is very expensive.

Our cooperation with Experts Medical began in the spring of 2020. And my gratitude for the work done has no limits. They are professionals in their field. Our task was to treat my son abroad. We needed proton therapy, which is not available in Ukraine. Even when our joint work faced the onset of the pandemic and plans for treatment abroad collapsed, we continued to search for options and the possibility of treatment. And although due to the quarantine we did not start proton therapy because it was too late, we started another treatment, in Turkey, very quickly. And we were almost the first patients from Ukraine when Turkey opened for patients. A colossal amount of work was done in a short time. This whole story is too long to tell in a review. The only thing I can say is that this is a real team of PROFESSIONALS. They know how to listen, HEAR, offer options, quickly respond to tasks set before them, convey information clearly and comprehensibly. I had the feeling that friends or relatives were helping me.
My recommendations!!! Keep it up!!!

Our family thanks Maria for her support, professionalism and good support! Nowadays, such a combination is rare. We still do not understand whether we will continue the examination – treatment abroad, but we have received complete and comprehensive information. And today it is clear that if we continue treatment abroad, then in cooperation with your company. Thank you for your sensitivity and attention!
