At 78, I developed a persistent, scaly patch on my scalp that my local doctor dismissed as age-related. Dr. Şahin immediately recognized it as a rare form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma through a precise biopsy. Her coordinated care with oncology at Acıbadem Maslak led to targeted phototherapy that cleared the lesion without systemic chemotherapy, allowing me to continue caring for my wife with dementia.
As a professional violinist, a rapidly growing nodule on my left index finger threatened my career. Dr. Şahin diagnosed it as a rare glomus tumor through ultrasound. Her microsurgical removal in the clinic was so precise I regained full sensation and dexterity within weeks, saving both my finger and my livelihood without a single missed performance.
My 6-year-old developed severe, blistering rashes after sun exposure that baffled pediatricians. Dr. Şahin diagnosed erythropoietic protoporphyria, a genetic photosensitivity disorder. She created a comprehensive management plan with specialized sun-protective clothing and timing of outdoor activities that transformed my daughter from a reclusive child to an active, happy first-grader.
After surviving breast cancer, I developed painful, ulcerating lesions at my radiation sites that wouldn't heal for months. Dr. Şahin identified it as radiation-induced morphea. Her combination of pulsed dye laser and topical immunomodulators not only healed the wounds but restored skin elasticity, giving me confidence in my post-cancer body for the first time.
