If you are a woman reading this, then you definitely know how frightening it is to get diagnosed with breast cancer. Getting rid of it will definitely bring you joy, but its recurrence is way more terrifying.

Ms. Rajshree, a Mauritius resident, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Just when she thought she had successfully eradicated it through a mastectomy. She was horror-struck by the news that her tumour had recurred.

Even though she underwent a mastectomy in her home country, the tumour seemed to recur, which can be due to several factors, such as Incomplete removal of the fibroid during the initial surgery or Growth of new fibroids due to hormonal imbalances.

Feeling devastated, she and her husband started searching online for a treatment option. That's when she came across our website. As she dropped a query on our website, keeping the urgency in mind, we assigned her a case manager promptly.

As the discussion about her previous surgery progressed, the case manager suggested that she come to India and consult one of the best Medical Oncologists in the country.

The patient agreed to come to India, and all of their arrangements, such as a medical visa, flight tickets, accommodation, hospital selection, and doctor appointments, were made beforehand.

Ms.Rajshree consulted Dr. Muzammil Shaikh, a Medical Oncologist with over 23 years of extensive experience. The doctor carefully performed the evaluation tests, and one test, a PET CT Scan, revealed that some part of the tumour was still present, which may have grown back or not been removed at all.

Dr. Muzammil suggested to Ms. Rajshree that the option she has is to undergo Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy.

She received 3 cycles of chemotherapy and 4 cycles of radiation therapy, after which the tumour growth was analysed, and it seemed to be stopped or manageable, which was rapidly growing before.

Ms. Rajshree came with her husband, and they both stayed in India for a month; she then returned to her home country with some medications suggested. She will be taking the remaining cycles in her home country.

We, at Vaidam, are with every step of Ms. Rajshree’s cancer-fighting journey; we hope she will fight it like a true warrior and make an excellent example for everyone who is suffering from the same right now.
