My 82-year-old grandmother, a retired calligrapher, presented with advanced pancreatic cancer. Other centers offered only palliative care. Dr. Sonkaya designed a gentle, intermittent chemotherapy schedule around her good days. She completed her final illuminated manuscript for our family, passing peacefully six months later with dignity. He treated her artistry, not just her age.
As a 28-year-old marine biologist, my rare desmoid tumor diagnosis felt like a career death sentence. Dr. Sonkaya didn't just see a tumor; he saw my future diving expeditions. His targeted therapy protocol preserved my physical capabilities completely. Two years later, I'm documenting coral reefs in Indonesia, tumor stable, living proof that oncology can protect dreams, not just extend life.
During a routine university exchange program from Norway, I (19, student) developed sudden, severe neutropenic fever. Dr. Sonkaya's team at Acibadem Atasehir acted within minutes. His personalized infection management in the context of an undiagnosed blood disorder saved my life. He coordinated my care back to Oslo, proving expertise knows no borders.
We brought our 7-year-old son for a second opinion about a complex abdominal mass. Dr. Sonkaya spent an hour on the floor with him, explaining treatment using toy dinosaurs. His collaborative pediatric-oncology approach with a children's hospital was seamless. Our son now calls his scar his 'dinosaur battle mark' and is back on the soccer field.
