In an interview with Top Channel, a patient suffering from gynecological cancer expressed that she has not received a single brachytherapy session.


She stated that she had approached a bank to apply for a loan.


“Since I have been paying contributions to the state all these years, why should I have to go elsewhere for treatment? I suffer from gynecological cancer. I haven’t had a single brachytherapy session. I asked in many places; in Turkey it costs 4,000 euros.


For some of my friends, it even went up to 6,000 euros. I went to the bank to get a loan so I could at least complete my treatment. That is in God’s hands, and life is given by Him.


But when a doctor tells you to undergo a treatment and it costs money, I have to think about where to find the funds. If I don’t get the treatment, what can I hope for? A month and a half has passed, and I still haven’t been able to receive this treatment,” said the patient.
