Posted: July 13, 2018 |
Damilola Pepple from Nigeria shares her brave journey of breast cancer surgery in India with Dr. Rajeev Agarwal best surgical oncologist at Medanta Gurgaon. “I am 54 years old and I am a proud breast cancer survivor my journey with breast cancer started in February 2010. I was devastated, as I just turned 45. I remember the amount of anger I had but I was also scared. I opted for natural treatment. During these 8 years, Eventually, I realized that I do not have any option but to remove the mass and I consulted two oncologists and one oncologist surgeon with the help of my GP in Nigeria, My choice was to have the mass removed first after which chemotherapy could be done. Since what I want was not supported by those doctors. I started looking for more options in other countries as medical facilities in Nigeria are not that advanced. After lot of research and recommendation I decided to get my treatment done in India as my research showed as many as 10000 Nigerians travel to India for cancer treatment and other illnesses every year. Cancer treatment in India has modified hugely in previous few years. A number of emerging and advanced technologies are now used to provide treatment to patients who really need it. India has been recognized as a new medical endpoint for breast cancer treatment and surgery. There are several factors that undoubtedly make India as one of the best destinations for cancer treatment in the world. The cost of cancer treatment in India is just one-tenth the cost of treatment in the developed countries. Breast cancer treatment is the most pocket friendly in India. I contacted Dr. Rajeev Agarwal chief surgical oncologist at Medanta Hospital Gurugram India. The top breast specialist at Medanta, Gurgaon has pioneered the practice of surgical oncology & concept of organ based specialization in oncology in northern India. So I sent an email to Dr. Rajeev Agarwal for information. A representative of him called me who told me about Medanta Hospital, Gurugram, India and their overall approach to treating breast cancer. The representative offered to check to see if my medical insurance provider would allow me treatment at hospital but since I knew I do not have the time to do that, I opted to get a loan and get treated as soon as possible and deal with the insurance later. I eventually decided to get treated at Medanta Hospital, Gurugram. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Rajeev Agarwal who is top breast specialist in India. Within a week, I was on a plane to visit the hospital. I also had all the necessary tests done that first day, which was a Saturday. In my country, I would have to wait until the Monday for tests to be done as our working weeks ends on a Friday and my case would not be seen as an emergency to have it attend to over a weekend. A lumpectomy and removal of a sentinel lymph node revealed that I had node-negative infiltrating ductal carcinoma. After surgery, I met with my oncologist Dr. Rajeev Agarwal to discuss the next step in my treatment. He recommended radiation therapy and said that chemotherapy might also be needed. Above all, I'm just grateful that I'm still here and that I have a future with my family around me. I have this immense feeling of gratitude towards my oncologist Dr. Rajeev Agarwal my decision to go to India for my operation on my terms. Without him, I could not know what to do and how to do. I got the best of treatment and specialists. You saved my life and I am endlessly thankful.
