Alikemal,
Sorry I’m not familiar with shipping to Turkey however, Amazon carries all the products and does ship to Turkey, see the attached links.
Good Luck,

I have gained weight initially loss when I started chemo treatments by doing two things.
First, as recommended by my oncologist is to take my anti-nausea medication at the first signs of not feeling good (stomach ache, dizziness, headache, etc.). This allowed me to feel better and eat more normally.
Second, as recommended by my my osteopath, I drink twice a day, green juice (either using a juicer with fresh green vegetables or Suja brand organic mighty dozen green juice) mixed with organic hemp protein, powdered poi, bee pollen and spirulina.Marion,
I and my oncologist have been in contact with MATCH (as the local university has a administrator) however they want fresh tissue and that is why we were hoping to be able to have my lung tumors biopsied. TAPUR requires genetic mutation test results so you’re right, MSKCC testing may make available TAPUR or other trials.
Thanks for the info,
LayneHi Marion,
My oncologist discussed my latest scan showing eight tumors in my lungs with an oncologist I saw at MSKCC in NYC and he decided to test the tumor removed at MSKCC in March, we are awaiting the results and STARTRK tested my tissue specific mutation and I did not meet their needs. A radioglist also reviewed my scan and determined that a biopsy on my lung is too risky.
Thanks,
LayneHi Marion,
Spoke to my insurance company who contacted my oncologist and although they could not tell me if the testing was covered, they will have my oncologist submit a request for pre-approval which will allow the insurance company review the tests and let me know if it’s covered.
Thanks,
LayneHi Marion,
My insurance is Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA) which is affiliated with Blue Ccioss, Blue Shield. My MSKCC surgery was covered.
Thanks,
LayneHi Marion,
Good to know and hoping mine does not grow. My oncologist said molecular testing is expensive, not covered by health insurance and recommend that I find a clinical trial that would cover the rest. Called Foundation Medicine who said they offer financial aid and payment plans but would not give me an estimate or price range. He said every case is different and some require additional test which is determined after the initial tests.
Mahalo,
Layne
