Treatment and diagnostics breast cancer in Istanbul, Türkiye

After arriving at the hospital, I received a consultation from a professor regarding a lump in my breast. The translator was constantly with me and helped with everything, as I don't speak Turkish. The doctor is professional and pleasant. He conducted a repeat diagnosis. On the same day, I quickly underwent mammography, ultrasound, and a biopsy. They confirmed the presence of a cancerous tumor. The neoplasm was large and could only be removed by surgery. I will return to the clinic in a few days. I feel like I am in good hands. The hospital is new, built a year ago. . Istanbul is a very beautiful city. I am staying in its tourist part. People are very friendly, the food is wonderful.

Thank you to Irade from the international department for organizing the treatment. Everything was top-notch. Thank you to Zulfiya for translation. Thank you to Dr. Pelin BASIM and Dilek Ünal for their professionalism and support.

The hospitals-travel staff did an excellent job. They promptly provided information about the best clinics that perform breast cancer surgeries. And I chose the "Anadolu" Medical Center. The operation was successful, but the price is incredible. I had to pay $16,000 USD for breast surgery. Nevertheless, I was provided with good care and rehabilitation.

I visited Anadolu for re-diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. What can I say, I was disappointed that they offered the same drugs as in Ukraine. I expected, of course, something else. But maybe the specialists here know better, because judging by the speed of examination and obtaining test results, their medicine is clearly stronger. I want to believe that therapy with their medications will be more effective and the disease will recede. Now I am preparing for a second trip to undergo examination and see how the prescribed drugs are working, if there are improvements.

I had a good impression of the service and my visit to the "Anadolu" clinic. I was met at the airport by a doctor-coordinator who organized the transfer to the hotel. The oncologist is a pleasant person with professional qualities. He inspires my trust. The doctor answered all my questions. The doctor carefully studied my medical history and did not prescribe unnecessary examinations. I would like to note the quality work of the translator who was with me in the doctor's office. After the consultation, I was given a report and an invoice was sent to my email. I paid for the doctor's services after the consultation, which saved my time.

On the recommendation of the service specialists, I decided to undergo an examination at the "Medipol" University Hospital. Everything would be fine, but not knowing Turkish clearly hindered contact with the medical staff. An interpreter accompanied me to consultations and diagnostic procedures, and then I was left alone. However, an accurate diagnosis was established quickly. The oncologist prescribed treatment and the time for surgery. The surgeons removed the tumor virtuously, they even left my breast. After treatment, I will go home with hope for a full recovery.

I was choosing where to get a PET CT scan for my mother, who had undergone 25 chemotherapies, and also wanted to choose a place to check myself. I contacted the service, and with the help of a coordinator, chose the Anadolu clinic near Istanbul. The organization of the meeting, transfer to the hotel, and from it to the hospital pleasantly surprised me, as well as the more acceptable price compared to European clinics. I didn't like that the examination did not follow the schedule and we did not get clear answers to all questions.
