The introduction of botox into the muscles of the larynx in Seoul, South Korea

Upon learning the diagnosis of "cancer of the lower part of the oral cavity," I initially planned to be treated in Russia: the disease was developing quickly, and little was known about foreign medicine. 2 courses of radiation therapy yielded no results, and the outcome of the surgery, according to the doctors, was unpredictable, so I decided to look for other options. That option became the "Severance" clinic in South Korea.

Collecting tests and preparation took only 3 days, and the surgery itself lasted 17 hours. It was performed by two wonderful surgeons, thanks to whom I have no scars and the predictions of other doctors, who promised that with such a diagnosis I would only be able to eat liquid food, did not come true.

The recovery period took place in intensive care, and then in a comfortable room, where my husband and a nurse were always with me. Interpreters were always present during rounds.

I am grateful to everyone who helped me defeat cancer!

My son Ruslan became a participant in the 'Believe in the Dream' program run by the Yeson Voice Center. Thanks to this program, he was able to receive free treatment for laryngeal papillomatosis.

I am very glad that there are such wonderful clinics that offer free help to children in need. I wish all the best to all the doctors and organizers of this campaign. I especially want to highlight Dr. Kim Hyung Tae—he performed the surgery that restored my son's voice.

We visited Yeson Center twice, six months apart. To our great joy, we learned the disease was receding—only a few small foci appeared in 6 months. Previously, many more papillomas would have appeared in that time.

Thank you, Korea, and all the staff of the center!

When my son was a couple of months old, he lost his voice. We visited many doctors, but only when he turned 2 did we finally get an accurate diagnosis—laryngeal papillomatosis.

We went through 4 surgeries and a tracheostomy, but it only got worse. My son had difficulty breathing, and we even ended up in intensive care several times.

We learned about the Yeson Voice Center online and immediately contacted medical coordinator Elena. She helped us immensely, thank you so much!

It was scary to go to a foreign country, but all doubts vanished when we arrived in Korea. Elena told us about the center, the doctors, and the surgery, which ultimately lasted 4 hours—the doctors discovered large clusters of papillomas. My son's condition improved, but it wasn't the end. We needed several trips, but it was 100% worth it. During our last visit to the center, Dr. Kim Hyung Tae said there were no more papillomas, and my son finally had his tracheostomy removed!

I suffered from laryngeal papillomatosis since childhood. Constant hospital visits, surgeries, restrictions—it was very hard. One of the surgeries led to complications—my vocal cords were damaged, causing me to almost lose my voice.

Since treatment in my home country didn't help, I started looking for doctors abroad and finally found them. After a long, unsuccessful search, I learned about Yeson Center! I sent all my medical documents to the doctors, and they replied that they could restore my cords and return my voice.

I flew to Korea, where Dr. Kim Hyung Tae operated on me the very next day after arrival. Everything went very smoothly; I felt great by the evening of the same day. I am happy I didn't give up searching and found this wonderful center!

To be honest, I had already given up by the time I learned about "Yeson." My daughter had laryngeal papillomatosis, several operations had already been performed—but the effect was temporary and insignificant. Fortunately, I learned that "Yeson" had found a way to help such patients!

We collected all the documents and immediately went to Korea. The wonderful doctor Kim Hyun Tae operated, to whom we are infinitely grateful! I also want to thank everyone who helped organize the trip and the center's staff—translators, doctors, nurses! They literally gave my daughter a chance for a new, healthy life—the disease has finally receded and there are no signs of recurrence.
