Watch Mr. Jenami share his full experience in the video below:

Mr. Phone Ralton Jenami, a 64-year-old man from Zimbabwe, had been managing hypertension but was otherwise leading a stable life. During a routine medical check-up, his PSA levels were found to be elevated, rising from 16 to 32.5 within a few months. This significant increase raised concern and led to further evaluation. 

A biopsy confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma (Gleason score 4+3). Although the diagnosis was serious, imaging scans showed that the disease had not spread to distant organs, which made timely and targeted treatment possible.

Following the diagnosis, Mr. Jenami and his family began exploring options for prostate cancer treatment. Their priority was to find advanced medical care, an experienced specialist, and reliable support. During their search, they came across Vaidam Health’s website, a leading medical travel assistant platform that helps patients connect with trusted doctors and hospitals.

After contacting Vaidam, our team carefully reviewed Mr. Jenami’s reports and suggested suitable treatment options. Based on his medical condition, we recommended Dr. Amit Goel, a specialist known for performing robotic radical prostatectomy in India. 

Along with medical guidance, we also provided complete assistance with medical visa documentation, travel and flight arrangements, airport pick-up, accommodation, and continuous coordination with the hospital. This organised support allowed Mr. Jenami to focus on his treatment without worrying about logistics.

At the Urology Department at Max Hospital, Gurgaon, Mr. Jenami underwent a detailed evaluation. Clinical examination and imaging confirmed that the cancer was localised to the prostate, although it involved a significant portion of the gland. 

After discussing all available options, robotic-assisted surgery was advised as the most suitable approach, aiming for effective removal of the cancer while supporting a smoother prostate cancer surgery recovery.

Mr. Jenami underwent robotic radical prostatectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection under the care of Dr. Amit Goel. The use of robotic technology enabled greater surgical precision, minimal invasiveness, and controlled removal of affected tissue. The surgery was completed successfully. After the procedure, he experienced a minor fluid leakage from the drain site, which was managed appropriately during his hospital stay.

His recovery progressed steadily. An ultrasound of the abdomen showed no fluid collection, indicating proper healing. He was advised to return for follow-up after one week, continue monitoring through reports, and gradually resume daily activities. With proper medical guidance, his recovery remained stable and well-managed.

Sharing his experience, Mr. Jenami said, “Travelling from Zimbabwe for treatment felt uncertain at first, but Vaidam guided us at every step. From choosing the doctor to arranging travel and stay, everything was managed smoothly. At Max Hospital Gurgaon, I received clear explanations and attentive care from Dr. Amit Goel and his team.”

Mr. Jenami’s journey highlights the importance of early diagnosis, informed decision-making, access to advanced surgical techniques, and the right medical support system. His experience shows how coordinated care and expert treatment can help navigate the process with clarity and confidence.

We wish Mr. Jenami continued good health and a smooth recovery ahead.
