Given that the patients are below poverty and are not recovering from the treatment, you should go for a second opinion in a Government or Charitable hospital elsewhere. The Government/ Charitable Hospitals will provide you treatment at a highly discounted price based on your economic condition.
 

You will have to present following documents for discounts:

  • Ration Card,
  • Aadhar Card.
     

The hospitals you can approach for subsidized prices are:

  • Mumbai:
  1. Tata Memorial Hospital (Government hospital)
  2. Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (Government hospital)
  • Delhi: 
  1. All India Institute of Medical Sciences (Government hospital)
  2. Delhi State Cancer Institute (Government hospital)
  • Hyderabad:
  1. Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital and Research Institute (Charitable Hospital)
  2. Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (Government hospital)
  • Bangalore:
  1. Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology (Government Hospital)
  2. Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital & Research Centre (Charitable Hospital)
  • Chennai: 
  1. Adyar Cancer Institute (Government hospital)
  2. Christian Medical College and Hospital (Charitable Hospital)

This form of cancer causes symptoms such as jaundice, weight loss, and belly pain. It starts when cells near the ampulla of Vater begin growing out of control. Treatment typically involves surgery followed by chemotherapy. You must collaborate closely with her physician to determine the most effective course of action for your mother. Be strong and be there for her during this difficult time.

I am a 24 year old girl presenting all classic symptoms of hogdkins lymphoma, but im not sure what is the next step

Female | 24

I know it is hard to have symptoms that seem like­ Hodgkin's lymphoma. This kind of cancer can make the lymph node­s swell up. It can make you fee­l very tired too. You might lose we­ight without trying. You might get sweaty at night. The be­st thing to do is see a doctor who treats cance­r. The doctor might need to do a te­st called a biopsy to know for sure if you have Hodgkin's lymphoma. The­ biopsy can help the doctor plan the right tre­atment for you.

If your PSA level has risen after previous treatments for prostate cancer,Plz consult with the best oncology hospital in India or your urologist. An increase in PSA levels may indicate a recurrence or progression of the cancer. The next steps will depend on your health, the extent of the cancer, and the treatments you've already received..
