Mr. Bilal suffered from symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and elevated bilirubin levels. He was diagnosed with a tumor in the head of his pancreas. In pursuit of the best possible treatment, he contacted Vaidam Health for assistance. 

We arranged an online consultation for him with a renowned Hepatobiliary Pancreatic and Gastrointestinal Surgeon, Dr. Ganesh Nagarajan. The doctor advised him to have a biliary stent procedure in Mauritius before coming to India. The stent helps in lowering the levels of bilirubin.

Bilal came to India three weeks after having the stent inserted. A PET – CT Scan was done for an accurate diagnosis. It was concluded that he had a small solid nodular tumor in his pancreas, which required a Whipple procedure. The surgery was successfully performed in Nanavati Super Specialty Hospital, Mumbai. 

The treatment plan also included chemotherapy. Bilal received his first cycle of chemo after one week of the surgery. He decided to have the rest of the sessions in his home country. He was accompanied by his wife, who also underwent a cataract operation in the same hospital. The husband-wife duo was delighted with the results.

They stayed in India for about 25 days and had a seamless medical travel experience throughout their stay. Pleased with the assistance they received, from travel arrangements and hospital admissions to post-operative care, Bilal and his wife thanked us for a hassle-free affair. 

We wish him a speedy recovery.
