In February 2021, my daughter Vlada was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma, we went to the doctors for a week trying to find out why the child started having severe headaches. They went through examinations, did an MRI, and as a fact, they found a brain tumor. That&#39;s when the ground slipped from under my feet. Realization has come - this has already happened, which means you need to quickly take action. The first thing we did was go to the children&#39;s hospital in Kyiv, the child was given a shunt. But unfortunately, fluid began to collect in my head and my vision began to fall sharply. The doctors explained that an operation was urgently needed. We did not have a large accumulated amount, and we decided to complete the operation abroad. We contacted Bookmed. We contacted the employee Marina. Marina quickly found a clinic for us in Turkey, organized a trip for us, flew to Turkey in a matter of days. The hospital was already waiting for us. Examined, took blood for tests and the next day an operation was scheduled. Everything went well. Then they underwent a course of radiotherapy. The results are positive, we were sent home to Ukraine (August 2021). Every 3 months they underwent MRI, the pictures were good .. But a year later, in March 2022, we heard the terrible words “relapse”, “war”. Hastily collected the necessary documents and left for Lviv. From there, by large buses, all children with cancer began to be taken out along the humanitarian corridor from Ukraine to Europe. The daughter and his wife were assigned to France. A second operation was performed, the tumor was removed, and after that a course of chemotherapy was prescribed. After a month of taking the course, the doctor said that chemotherapy was not helping. The doctor suggested experimental chemotherapy, but that didn&#39;t help either. As a result, the daughter is getting worse and worse every day. The child began to walk badly, the right leg and handle practically do not work. The child melted before my eyes. It&#39;s all very scary, but it&#39;s worse to leave Vlad without an opportunity for treatment. I again turned to Marina Bookmed Marina again very quickly found us a hospital in Turkey, helped us with the flight Paris Istanbul. Arrived at the hospital 2 days later, the operation was successful!!! After the operation, the child began to talk, swallow, and after a couple of days to walk. What I want to say Bookmed in particular Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level. Marina many thanks to you and your team THANK YOU."},"order":{"illness":{"id":236,"name":{"en":"Brain tumor"}}},"clinic_info":{"id":85,"name":"Medipol Mega University Hospital","alias":"medipol-mega-hastaneler-kompleksi","flags":[{"name":"is_hide","value":false},{"name":"has_active_agencies","value":false}]},"created_at":"2022-09-23T05:15:53.000+00:00","flags":[{"name":"is_approved","value":true},{"name":"is_anonymously","value":false},{"name":"is_notification_sent","value":false},{"name":"would_recommend","value":true},{"name":"has_client_feedback","value":true},{"name":"coordinator_mentioned","value":true},{"name":"deactivated_clinic","value":false}],"images":[{"full_url":"review/632d48179ed0c_b.jpeg","preview_url":"review/632d48179ed0c_s.jpeg"},{"full_url":"review/632d481c319b7_b.jpeg","preview_url":"review/632d481c319b7_s.jpeg"}],"comment_about_bookimed":{"en":"Undoubtedly"},"summary":{"positive":{"en":"\"Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level.\"Return:  About the Doctor: \"The doctors explained that an operation was urgently needed\", \"The doctor suggested experimental chemotherapy, but that didn&#39;t help either.\"  About the Clinic: \"Realization has come - this has already happened, which means you need to quickly take action.
