Hello, I am looking for a treatment for a tumor in my spinal cord

@samer9 I would like to add my welcome. @colleenyoung has provided you with excellent suggestions on how you can request a consult/appointment overseas from the U.S.
I would like to let you know that I feel disappointed and sad for you that you cannot get the treatment you need in Turkey. I don’t know if you home country of Syria is an option but I’m going to assume you’ve already investigated that option.
I am a patient at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. I have often talked with other patients about where they are from outside the U.S. and how they came to get their care at Mayo. Once you are at Mayo in Rochester and staying in a nearby hotel it’s very common to talk with one another and support one another. That’s how I know this. I have been impressed in how they’ve arranged to get their speciality care in the U.S.
I do hope you get some answers quickly from the Mayo Clinic locations in the UK and Abu Dhabi.
Will you please come back and let me know if you were able to get an appointment in the US or overseas?

@naturegirl5 I do not know how I can tell you, Madam, that I cannot return to my country ever again due to the security conditions.. and I have not seen my family for eight years. They are still there in Syria, and it is very difficult for them to be in Turkey because no one is accepted again in Turkey by the refugees because they allow grants. Is there any right of asylum or humanitarian residency here for anyone from Syria? I am now out of work and sitting at home only because of the tumor in my spinal cord, causing me pain in the nerves, arms, neck, shoulders, and back, and I do not have the money to travel to the Mayo Clinic to receive treatment.. If only I had the ability to be there. The United States of America. I will receive full treatment and care, but unfortunately I did not get assistance in traveling to the United States of America... Maybe I feel that my life will end in this state and without seeing my family again....💔 I am sorry, but this is the truth. ..
