Скъпи, добродетели! 21.02.24г Dear, virtues! 21.02.24

Hello,in a reversal of the course of treatment,subsequently and lack of medical reports about it...had to isolate myself and stayed only under medical supervision and environment almost two months.

After coming out of my "full stress" stage, I went straight into my "let me beat this" stage and I couldn't wait to bless you,for not getting tired of supporting me in the healing process and slow treatment of this insidious disease,which at any moment would have left you with No Way Out...

In these two months I left myself some time to heal completely under medical supervision. I looked at those 2 months as something to get over and leave behind, a sad but short chapter of my story.

I completed my sixth treatment cycle on February 14, 2024. The medical staff at Anadolu Sağlık Merkezi - Johns Hopkins Medicine marveled at how well I was doing with chemotherapy. I had a scanner,which assured us of the success of the treatment at this point and I have now moved on to stage two,with hope and objective medical results for further surgery. Radiotherapy is also planned after surgery.I can finally move on from this chapter of my life!

For some time I could not talk,could not communicate on the phone because I did not have the coordination to call or send messages...In the process of treatment,I learned that there is no receptor in this type of cancer that has a major impact on the disease- triple negative breast cancer is the most difficult subtype to treat. It also tends to be more aggressive /grows quickly and has a high recurrence rate/ so the prognosis for this subtype is often worse than others and ... not easily predictable...

During these months I have been praying for God to bring me through whatever his plan is for me.

Together with the finance department of the hospital and my oncology team of doctors, a planned assessment of the upcoming treatment costs has been made, for which a Proforma has been put forward at a cost of 29.300 thousand euros and a surgery at a cost of about 15.600 euros - in an attachment I share a physical file.

I am grateful that the doctors gave me time to celebrate my birthday with my family, to visit friends I had not seen since the diagnosis and who have been steadfastly supporting me with silent prayers and support for my family, to take family photos "just in case" and to hug my children....

I am also grateful to some of my benefactors , who took minutes out of their days to see me and hug me to give me strength and energy , which is an invaluable resource in the battle with such a diagnosis! It saves lives!

This support of yours, in these two months has been invaluable and my fight would not have been possible without your kind heartedness, time and resources, written blessings and messages of Strength for Life and I was able to hold on to life tightly in the process.

With gratitude... Asya.
