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!
