Noi semne de intrebare legate de tratament

Am primit acordul pentru realizarea tratamentului si dupa cum puteti citi din emailul anterior, cazul meu a fost preluat de insusi directorul acestei clinici Prof. Dr. Kayihan Engin, o somitate in domeniul oncologic.
Deoarece in primul email am primit o serie de informatii generale si de asemenea o fisa de acord pentru efectuarea tratamentului, au aparut noi intrebari legate de deplasarea in Turcia si de eventuala durata a tratamentului. In continuare am atasat emailurile aferente:

Subject: Re: Interested in making an appointment.

Dear Mr. Ercan

Thank you very much for your reply.First of all I would like to sincerely thank you for this opportunity you and your clinic offer to people like me who have all their hopes in you.Your work is admirable.

Second, I would like some aditional informations regarding the treatment period:

1. How long would it last?

2. What is the best period for me to do the treatment, regarding that I finished my chemotherapy treatment 2 moths ago? Is there a time interval for the treatment to be done or it is independent of chemotherapy treatment?

3. Regarding the money issue, I don't have such an amount of money so, can I come for a first consultation and eventual investigation needed, and after we establish a fix cost of the treatment, can I come back after I have the entire amount?

4. If it is possible for me to come only for this consultation, when can we make an appointment?

Looking forward to your reply.

My best regards,

Darvaru Andra ;;)

Dear Andra,

First of all, I would really like to thank you for your appreciation.

Secondly, not to lose any time, I would like to give you the information for which you've been looking for.

According to your questions:

Please note that as the first step, we can arrange an appointment with the Prof. to have a consultation to proceed faster and we can arrange it as soon as possible. If you can organise to fly to Istanbul at your earliest convenience, we can get ready for pick up from the airport free of charge as well as arrange for accomodation in a decent hotel in the nearby neighbourhood of the hospital.

The cost per night of the hotel for a double room would be around 75 € including breakfast and VAT. We can arrange for a consultation with the Prof. The consultation would cost about 90 € for Radiation Oncology. As already presented before, he may also ask for a radiological scanning (MRI or CT ) which would cost about 475 € [+ medication (if needed) +- 100 €] to be able to decide about the best treatment plan. The decision for the treatment plan will be made upon the consultation and possible investigations and we can start the treatment as quickly as possible upon your approval of the cost estimation which will be defined accordingly.

* Prices presented above as in currencies other than TL (Turkish Lira) might vary according to the daily changing exchange rates.

I'd like to let you know that an IMRT might take up to 35 working days in total. But obviously, the duration depends on the definition of the treatment . So, this estimated time of treatment would vary according to the result of the scanings as it exists IMRT applications for 10 days or 5 days too. It would depend on the indication of Prof. Dr. Kayihan Engin.

And also there is no restriction for the application time of the IMRT. It can even be applied combined with chemotherapy for the patients in case it is indicated and if the general state of the patient allows.

Meanwhile, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me anytime from the contact details presented below.

And finally please note taht we can set an appointment with the related physician as soon as possible accoridng to your convenience.

Looking forward to helping you at our best,

Warmest regards from Istanbul,

Murat Ercan
