Astride Nakar, a 40-year-old mother from Vanuatu, was devastated when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was an overwhelming and frightening time for her and her husband. Not only were they coping with the emotional shock of the diagnosis, but they were also worried about whether advanced cancer treatment options like chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation were available in their home country.

Their turning point came when Astride discovered Vaidam Health through Facebook. With the guidance and reassurance of the Vaidam team, Astride and her husband decided to take the courageous step of travelling to Artemis Hospital in Gurugram, India.

At Artemis, under the expert care of Dr. Priya Tiwari, Astride began her treatment with chemotherapy to reduce the tumour size. She then underwent Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM) surgery performed by Dr. Deepak Jha. Following surgery, she recovered well and proceeded with radiation therapy under the supervision of Dr. S.C. Pandey.

The entire treatment process spanned around four months, during which Astride showed remarkable courage and strength. She was supported at every step by her husband and guided throughout her journey by Vaidam Health.

Sharing her experience, Astride said, “When I first learned about my breast cancer, I was scared and didn’t know what to do. Coming to India and choosing Artemis Hospital was the best decision I made. Dr. Priya Tiwari, Dr. Deepak Jha, and Dr. S.C. Pandey not only treated me but also gave me the confidence and hope I needed. Today, I feel strong and healthy again. I sincerely thank Vaidam Health for guiding me and supporting me throughout my treatment.”

Astride’s journey is a powerful reminder that with timely diagnosis, expert doctors, and the right guidance, even the toughest battles like breast cancer can be won.

We at Vaidam Health are proud to have supported Astride in her journey and wish her a long, cancer-free life.
