Mukh Mantri Punjab Cancer Raahat Kosh Scheme was initiated by the Government of Punjab with the aim of providing financial assistance to only Punjab resident cancer patients. Financial assistance of up to INR 1,50,000 is provided for the treatment of each cancer patient. Those exempted from the scheme are government employees, ESI employees and their dependents or anyone who has any kind of facility for medical reimbursement or has opted for health insurance by insurance companies. Beyond this, there are many hospitals in India that offer free cancer treatment to those in need. These hospitals are some of the best in the country and have a commendable record at successfully treating cancer patients every year.

Hello Sir, my mother was diagnosed with salivary gland cancer (parotid gland cancer) on 28th. It is in an advanced stage. She's 69, and on blood thinners. She is really scared and asked me to get a second opinion. Kindly refer someone who can help us through this condition.

We need to check few more details. Whether surgery done or not? Generally, surgery remains 1st step and on safe hands the age mentioned is really no an adverse factor.

Male | 60

Yes the liver cancer can spread to other tissues. Some of the most common metastasis sites are the lungs, bones, and lymph nodes. Early diagnosis and management of metastasis are necessary for adequate prevention or control.

I’m female, 17years old. I found that there is a lump in my left armpit, it has been there fro about two years. It doesn’t hurt when untouched but can hurt alittle tiny bit when pressed on or squshed. What is it? Cancer?

Female | 17

I would suggest that you consult medical expert in the field of breast health or oncology for further diagnostics. There may be a swollen lymph node, an infection or benign growth in your left armpit and these all should not have malignancy. Don’t wait and visit your doctor immediately.

Good morning. On examination of the CT scan and the MRI they detected a thymoma, with a benign appearance. Do you think I should remove it or do a biopsy first? THANKS

Female | 65

First, a biopsy should be performed in order to confirm the diagnosis of thymoma. When the diagnosis is made, it should be surgically removed. See a thoracic surgeon to have correct diagnosis and management.

My sister-in-law is 38 years old, fighting for her life, due to breast cancer. The stage of cancer is not yet determined as the doctors are waiting for a Biopsy report and PET scan. But initial examination reveals it is in stage 4. She is admitted to Fortis hospital, Amritsar, and getting treated for the chest fluid and blood count increase while waiting for lab reports. We are planning to start her treatment in Bangalore and we are confused about which hospital could help my sister-in-law fight this cancer successfully.
