Patient Experience
During a business trip to Istanbul, I collapsed with acute myeloid leukemia complications. Dr. Eralp managed my emergency care at Acıbadem Maslak with astonishing calmness. What stood out was her 3 AM video call with my hematologist in Seoul, creating a seamless transcontinental treatment plan before the sun rose.
As a competitive freediver, my mesothelioma diagnosis threatened everything. Dr. Eralp understood my lung capacity was sacred. She developed a surgical approach that preserved 92% of my lung function post-resection, followed by hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy. Eighteen months later, I'm diving again, holding my breath for three minutes—a testament to her precision.
As a 28-year-old software engineer, my rare desmoid tumor diagnosis felt like a career death sentence. Dr. Eralp didn't just see a tumor; she saw my future. She pioneered a targeted therapy protocol that shrank the mass by 70% in four months, allowing me to avoid radical surgery and continue coding. Her approach felt like she was debugging my biology with the precision I use on algorithms.
My 82-year-old mother's metastatic breast cancer had been declared untreatable elsewhere. Dr. Eralp reviewed her case and noticed a unique biomarker pattern others missed. She designed a gentle, pulsed chemotherapy schedule combined with immunotherapy that gave us three quality years together—years filled with family gatherings and laughter we thought we'd never have.
