The patient, Mr. Shakir Ahmad, was diagnosed with liver cancer in Bangladesh. He wanted to get the best treatment and knew that he had to visit India to get treated for his cancer. He did his research and reached out to ClinicSpots for assistance in finding the right doctor for his treatment. Shakir expressed particular interest in Dr. Suresh Advani. And the ClinicSpots team helped him with his enquiries by discussing his medical reports with Dr. Advani and his team. The team provided him with the visa invitation letter and completed all the formal procedures that were necessary which made his travel faster and convenient. He managed to travel to India as soon as he could. After reaching India, ClinicSpots team assisted him well right from his pickup and hotel accommodations and throughout the entire treatment process.
 

Pre evaluation of the reports and the first chemotherapy session, read how it went forward.


Soon he got in touch with the doctor Suresh Advani at Jaslok Hospital. After a thorough evaluation of Shakir's reports, Dr. Advani discovered that the cancer was localized to his liver and not metastatic. He recommended a treatment plan consisting of three chemotherapy sessions, each 21 days apart. Shakir was concerned about staying in India for the entire treatment duration, but Dr. Advani gave him the first chemotherapy session under his observation to examine his body's reactions to chemotherapy.

 

After the session, the doctor advised Shakir to continue his treatment in Bangladesh since he was not physically fit to endure the treatment in India for the entire two to three months.
 

The treatment period and post treatment care

Dr. Advani provided Shakir with a complete protocol and stayed in regular contact with him. Shakir would share the details of his reports and outcomes with the doctor after every chemotherapy session.

 

After completing all three chemotherapy sessions, Shakir returned to Jaslok Hospital Mumbai in India for an investigation and a PET scan. The results showed that there was no cancer present, thus the doctor declared Shakir as a cancer free patient then. Despite such a difficult and painful journey, Mr. Shakir Ahmad was satisfied, happy and grateful for the care and support he received from Dr. Advani and ClinicSpots team throughout his treatment.
