Hidayet Yilmaz

We all watched our dad , father-in-law , husband and grandfather loose the struggle with brain cancer. Those who knew him, knew him as a mountain of a man who overcame all obstacles. Unfortunately, he encountered a glioblastoma, the most aggressive brain tumour which is also uncurable.
We spent the last 5 months of his life in Istanbul , while he and mum lived with us and we tried to extend his life with aggressive radiation therapy and chemotherapy. We were given 3 months but he managed 5.5. We all cried together, laughed and now grieve. But life goes on.....Enjoy your family and friends because you can only leave a legacy in your children and in peoples' memories.
