When 33-year-old Sylvia Gesare from Kenya was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021, she began a long, emotionally exhausting battle. She underwent several treatments at home, but when her condition required more advanced care, she felt scared, uncertain, and unsure of the next step.

It was during this difficult period that a fellow patient told her about Vaidam Health. That simple conversation gave Sylvia a new direction and hope. She discovered that India offered advanced and affordable cancer treatment, and she finally felt that a real chance at recovery was within reach.

After reviewing her medical reports, Vaidam Health guided Sylvia toward Dr. Shivam Shingla at S.L. Raheja Hospital, Mumbai, a trusted centre for oncology care.

With courage in her heart, Sylvia travelled alone to India, determined to fight for her health and future.

During her 45-day stay, Sylvia underwent a planned course of six cycles of chemotherapy. The treatment was physically demanding and emotionally heavy, but she remained strong, and the medical team ensured she never felt alone.

Reflecting on her experience, Sylvia shared: “I’ve been receiving treatment at S.L. Raheja Hospital and have just completed all six cycles of chemotherapy, finishing my last session on 24th November 2025.

This journey has been incredibly tough, but I’m grateful to God for giving me the strength to reach this point. The care from Vaidam and the doctors has truly made a difference. I would absolutely recommend this hospital and Vaidam Health to anyone fighting cancer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Sylvia’s journey shows how timely treatment, expert care, and emotional support can transform a patient’s life. Her determination, combined with the guidance of Vaidam Health and the care of Dr. Shivam Shingla, has helped her step into a healthier, more hopeful future.

Vaidam Health wishes Sylvia a strong recovery, renewed strength, and a future filled with happiness.
