Breast lumps are a significant concern but often overlooked due to delayed diagnosis.

Emily, from Fiji, had been noticing some unusual lumps on the right side of her breast. Concerned about it, she consulted an oncologist in Fiji. Following a detailed examination, the doctor advised two tests: mammogram and biopsy. Her test results confirmed breast cancer. 

Devastated by the news, she started searching treatment options online and found Vaidam. Intrigued by their services, she submitted a query on their website. The response was swift; a case manager reached her out. The team took the time to understand her case, collected her medical reports, and helped her navigate through the entire process.

Vaidam Health suggested Apollo Proton Cancer Centre in India, known for its advanced proton therapy and skilled oncologists. 

Emily and her husband arrived in India, where they were warmly welcomed at the airport by the care manager from Vaidam. Her appointment was promptly scheduled. Following a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Sapna Nangia recommended mastectomy as the most suitable treatment option. The surgery was a success without any complications. The patient received comprehensive post-operative care including pain management, infection monitoring and physical therapy. She remained in India with her husband for 1.5 months for recovery, with the Vaidam team by her side. 

They were extremely satisfied with the care and support received. They expressed gratitude to Vaidam Health for ensuring a seamless journey throughout. Facing the challenges of an unfamiliar language and culture, she felt completely supported by the team. From arranging appointments to providing translation services and guiding her through medical protocols. She couldn’t recommend their invaluable assistance more highly.

She is now back in Fiji, enjoying a restored state of health. 

The Vaidam team wishes her a future filled with good health and happiness!
