8 Tumors in the Large Intestine and Liver were Removed with a Single Surgery

Adnan Elver, who lives in Istanbul, regained his health by taking 8 advanced-stage tumors in his large intestine and liver in a single operation.

As a result of the detailed examinations made of Adnan Elver, whose "CRP" values were high during the routine blood test about 6 months ago, was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Moreover, cancer had metastasized to the liver. Adnan Elver, who said that they experienced a great shock as a whole family when they encountered such a diagnosis despite having no complaints, expressed his feelings as follows: “I was told that I had 8 tumors in my body, 3 of which were very large. When I found out, I felt Death's cold breath upon my cheek. But pulled me together right away. I decided to fight until the end.''

Yeditepe University Koşuyolu Hospital General Surgery Specialist, who performed the treatment process of Adnan Enver, gave important information about the operation.

“I Was Reborn At The Age of 63''

Stating that getting rid of tumors completely with a single operation provides great relief, Adnan Enver said, “After about seven hours of operation, I can say that I was reborn at the age of 63. I am feeling ever so much better. In this process, things get easier when you have someone who supports you and gives you information. I have seen great support from my son in every way. ”

“Despite No Complaint, We Encountered Stage Four Tumors”

Yeditepe University Kosuyolu Hospital General Surgery Specialist, who carried out the treatment process of Adnan Enver, gave the following information: "Although Mr. Enver said that he had no complaints when he applied, we detected a tumor that metastasized to the liver in his large intestine. After controlling the tumor with chemotherapy, we performed the surgery in 7 hours with a team of 3 people. We removed the main tumor located in the last part of the large intestine, as well as 8 tumors in the large intestine and liver in a single surgery. ”

Our specialist, who pointed out that more than one surgery is required in cases where large bowel tumors usually spread to the liver, said "It is possible to perform the surgery at the same time with a sufficient team and experience".

“Patients With Advanced Stage Colon Cancers Also Have a Long-Term Chance of Survival Too”

Stating that it is now possible to live in the fourth stage of colon tumors in the long term, our specialist said: “Today, with the developments in both chemotherapy and surgery, combined treatment has made a significant contribution to the success of recovery. In this way, the long-term life chances of our patients increased many times, which we did not have such a chance 15 years ago. Our patients should never lose hope.

Cancer Can Proceed With No Symptoms

Drawing attention to the fact that the tumor can progress to an advanced stage without any symptoms in large bowel cancers, our expert said, “We also draw attention to the importance of regular health checks for early diagnosis for these patients. A colonoscopy should be done after the age of 45. Especially those with a family history of cancer should be much more careful about this. ”

Approaches of Patients and Patient Relatives Are Important

Stating that some patients are naturally affected by the condition after being diagnosed and can be depressed, our expert continued: “Although it is a difficult process, the patient and his/her relatives should try to be positive. Our patient set an example in this regard. He always tried to be positive and believed that he would be fine. However, the awareness of patients and their relatives about health is also very important during the treatment. Mr. Enver was very lucky in this sense because he has a son who is very knowledgeable, conscious, and investigative about this issue. He made it easy for both his father and us during the treatment.”

Yağız Elver, who said that he was initially devastated when his father was diagnosed with cancer, said, "I started to research what we can do for my father. I even read medical articles, and started researching. I tried to do my best for my father. But most importantly, I always kept him and my morale high.”
