At BGS Global Hospitals Ms. Banumati’s cancer is in complete Remission. Her life is beautiful once again
October 4th, 2014:
Bhanumati, a 43 year old lady from Bangalore came to our hospital
with history of lump in her right breast since 3 months. She was told
about us by one of her friends whose relative was treated by us.
PET-CT (whole body scan) showed there was no spread of the disease anywhere else in the body.
The size of her lump was very big. She was given an
option of Organ preservation that means instead of mastectomy, she could
undergo Neoadjuvant chemotherapy wherein Chemotherapy is given before
the surgery. By doing so, we downsize or shrink the tumour. The patient
who otherwise would have to undergo complete removal of the breast has
now become eligible for Breast conservation surgery.
Bhanumathi underwent 6 cycles of chemotherapy first. The tumour reduced to 2 x3 cms in size.
She then underwent Breast conservation surgery with a
Lattisimus dorsi flap cover to give a very good cosmetic outcome.
Subsequently, she was given TrueBeam STx radiation therapy.
PET-CT after 6 months showed that Bhanumathi is in
complete remission. Her disease has not only been cleared but her
feminity also has been retained.
Banumathi, Breast cancer survivor, said, “Life came
to a standstill, when I came to know I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
But I didn’t lose hope and had the support of my family. My
oncologists, explained the treatment course in detail, which helped me
understand the illness and gave the courage to fight the cancer. Post
treatment, I’m back to normal life and my life is beautiful once again. I
thank the oncologists, at BGS Global Hospitals, for giving me a new
lease of life. I would encourage all cancer patients by telling them not
to give up hope as cancer today is a manageable disease.”
