Psyc. Buse Mamur Reviews

When our teenage son's Ewing sarcoma relapsed in his pelvis during COVID lockdowns, Dr. Mamur organized a home-hospital hybrid care model. Nurses trained us to administer targeted therapies while drone deliveries brought medications. Virtual reality sessions distracted during painful procedures. This innovative approach achieved second remission without a single hospital admission during the pandemic peak.

As parents of a 16-year-old competitive swimmer diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his shoulder, we faced the terrifying prospect of amputation ending his athletic dreams. Dr. Mamur pioneered a novel limb-salvage protocol combining targeted immunotherapy with precision radiation, allowing complex surgery that preserved full nerve function. Our son not only kept his arm but returned to the water nine months later, now training for adaptive sports championships.

Our 3-year-old daughter was airlifted from Cyprus with a rare hepatoblastoma that five hospitals called inoperable. Dr. Mamur's team performed a groundbreaking two-stage liver resection using 3D-printed surgical guides, avoiding transplant entirely. She celebrated her fourth birthday cancer-free, and Dr. Mamur still video-calls monthly to check her developmental milestones, becoming like family across the Mediterranean.

A university student studying abroad in Istanbul collapsed with acute myeloid leukemia. With no family nearby, Dr. Mamur became medical guardian, coordinating care in four languages between our home country and Turkey. Her personalized CAR-T cell therapy protocol achieved remission when standard treatments failed. She graduated on time and now volunteers as a translator for Dr. Mamur's international patients.

Our 8-year-old son with Down syndrome developed a rare myelodysplastic syndrome that most oncologists dismissed as untreatable. Dr. Mamur designed a low-intensity chemotherapy regimen tailored to his genetic profile and cognitive needs, using play therapy to administer treatments. Two years later, his blood counts remain normal, and he proudly shows everyone his 'superhero medicine badge' from Dr. Mamur.

When our newborn was diagnosed with congenital neuroblastoma during a routine ultrasound, we entered a nightmare. Dr. Mamur delayed immediate surgery to allow lung development, monitoring via daily telemedicine while we remained home. The minimally invasive robotic surgery at 3 months old left barely visible scars. Our baby reached all first-year milestones ahead of schedule, defying every grim prediction.

A 14-year-old refugee from Syria arrived with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma, malnourished and traumatized. Dr. Mamur secured pro bono treatment through hospital foundations while providing psychological support for war trauma alongside chemotherapy. The patient not only achieved complete remission but now assists in Dr. Mamur's clinic as a peer supporter for other refugee children.

Our 11-year-old daughter developed radiation-induced sarcoma years after surviving retinoblastoma. Most centers refused re-irradiation, but Dr. Mamur pioneered proton beam therapy with real-time MRI guidance, sparing her spinal cord. She maintained full academic performance during treatment through Dr. Mamur's hospital-school partnership program and now mentors newly diagnosed patients.

A 6-year-old with cerebral palsy and an aggressive Wilms tumor presented unique challenges. Dr. Mamur coordinated with neurologists to design anesthesia protocols that prevented spasticity complications during nephrectomy. Post-surgery recovery incorporated physiotherapy into oncology care, resulting in better motor function than before diagnosis, a truly holistic outcome we never imagined possible.

A 2-year-old with a massive mediastinal teratoma had been refused surgery elsewhere due to airway risk. Dr. Mamur assembled a 'surgical symphony' team performing EXIT-procedure-like resection while maintaining ECMO support. The 14-hour operation was streamed to 23 international centers as an educational masterclass. The toddler now breathes independently and loves blowing bubbles, her favorite post-recovery activity.

Our 17-year-old daughter's rare pineoblastoma caused complete vision loss. Dr. Mamur's experimental intrathecal chemotherapy protocol combined with focused ultrasound allowed tumor shrinkage without cranial radiation, preserving cognitive function. While vision didn't return, she adapted through Dr. Mamur's blindness mentorship program and now studies psychology to support others with cancer-related disabilities.

A 9-year-old boy with Fanconi anemia developed myelodysplastic syndrome, creating a transplant catch-22. Dr. Mamur identified a haploidentical donor within the family and used reduced-intensity conditioning with graft engineering. The patient engrafted successfully without severe GVHD and recently celebrated one year post-transplant by climbing Uludağ with Dr. Mamur's adventure therapy group.

When our 5-year-old's diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma was deemed terminal, Dr. Mamur offered hope through a compassionate-use targeted therapy trial. She personally monitored daily responses via video calls, adjusting doses based on subtle neurological changes. The tumor stabilized for 22 months, precious time we used to create memory projects. Dr. Mamur's dedication to quality of life redefined what 'hope' means in hopeless situations.

A 13-year-old ballet dancer with osteosarcoma in her femur faced career-ending surgery. Dr. Mamur collaborated with biomedical engineers to create a custom-growing prosthesis that expands with her remaining growth plates. She resumed ballet training six months post-op and recently performed at a hospital benefit concert, her prosthesis clicking rhythmically as part of the choreography, a sound Dr. Mamur calls 'the music of resilience.'

Our infant twins were diagnosed simultaneously with infantile leukemia, a one-in-ten-million occurrence. Dr. Mamur developed staggered treatment schedules so we could care for one child at home while the other hospitalized. Her research team discovered a shared genetic predisposition, leading to a published case study. Both twins are now thriving toddlers, and we participate in Dr. Mamur's sibling cancer risk registry to help other families.
