Overview

• Gill Taylor-Scarth, 56, became critically unwell during a family holiday in Hisaronu and was transferred to a public hospital in Antalya.
• Turkish clinicians told the family an urgent operation is needed, with the tumour pressing on her brainstem and the best potential outcome being complete paralysis.
• Her daughters are pursuing an international air ambulance to Liverpool, and a GoFundMe has been launched to cover the estimated £50,000 cost.
• Gill had previously been treated with steroids at Southport Hospital, was declared fit to fly, and had surgery in the UK scheduled for August 29.
• Hospital rules and language barriers mean only her 17-year-old daughter can stay with her and handle communication with staff, complicating decisions on care.
