An inspiring story of a young woman from Kazakhstan — Yana, who faced an enormous challenge but didn’t give up and found her path to recovery.

Like many girls her age, Yana dreamed of a bright future filled with joy and achievement. But her life changed dramatically when she was diagnosed with Glioblastoma G4 — a terrifying and aggressive brain tumor.

Doctors in her hometown attempted to remove the tumor surgically, but only a small portion could be extracted. What remained was a massive scar — a physical and emotional mark. Of course, saving her life was the priority, but scars like that leave a mark on the heart as well.

This is what’s left as a reminder…

Chemotherapy was started, but unfortunately, it didn’t bring the expected results. Yana’s condition kept getting worse.

But she didn’t give up. She began searching online for more information — and that’s how she found Askletion. She reached out to us for help — and we immediately got to work. We ran detailed analyses and discovered that the chemotherapy drugs she had been prescribed had no effect on the cancer cells. The disease was progressing.

We were shocked. The treatment simply wasn’t working.

Through the help of leading specialists from clinics in Turkey, we arranged for a second, highly complex brain surgery.

This time, our surgeons were able to remove the entire tumor without damaging healthy brain tissue — and left only a small, neat scar.

It was a true breakthrough in Yana’s treatment.

After surgery, we received histology results and conducted mutational analysis, which allowed us to select the right chemotherapy drugs for her specific condition. We never work blindly — the health of our patients is always our top priority.
