Aftab had always been a hardworking man. He dedicated himself to his work always even when he was not feeling well. But as the days went by, his health started deteriorating, and the pain in his back became unbearable. He went to see a doctor in his home country of Bangladesh and underwent some tests. The results came back, and Aftab was diagnosed with a tumor located between his bile duct and colon.

 

The doctor informed him that the tumor was complicated, and the surgery to remove it would be risky. Despite this, Aftab made a brave decision to undergo the procedure, hoping to be rid of the unbearable pain that had taken over his life. However, after the first surgery, Aftab was disappointed to learn that it was unsuccessful.

 

Determined not to give up, he went through with a second surgery, only to be disappointed once again. Aftab was devastated. He had gone through so much, and still, the pain persisted. He felt like he had hit a dead end.

But then one of his close friends suggested he reach out to ClinicSpots, a medical tourism company that connects patients with doctors all around the world. Eager to explore all options available, Aftab immediately contacted ClinicSpots.

 

After sharing his medical history with a ClinicSpots executive, Aftab was asked to provide his previous medical reports. The executive shared these with the doctors, who recommended that Aftab travels to India for surgery to remove the tumor located between his bile duct and colon. Feeling anxious about the prospect of surgery, Aftab was hesitant to commit. However, the ClinicSpots executive helped Aftab understand the benefits of the procedure, including the high success rate and potential for recovery. With this reassurance, Aftab made the decision to travel to India for treatment. The executive even assisted in expediting his visa application so that Aftab could travel without delay. Before long, Aftab was on his way to India with newfound hope for a healthier future.

 

Treatment Plan-

Upon arrival in India, Aftab was accompanied by a ClinicSpots field executive to Nanavati Hospital where he was scheduled to meet with Dr. Ganesh Nagarajan.

After a thorough consultation and additional testing, it was determined that Aftab needed surgery to remove the tumor. Despite his initial reservations about the procedure, Aftab was reassured by the executive and Dr. Dhanraj that the surgery would be the best option for his recovery.

After a few tests like-

  1. PET CT Scan
  2. Biopsy (Endoscopic)

The reports said that the tumor which was still there was not malignant. It was a benign tumor. Aftab was relieved to hear that the tumor was not cancerous, but he was still nervous about the upcoming surgery.  

The surgery went smoothly and without any complications, much to Aftab's relief. 

 

The results,

After the successful surgery, Aftab felt like a new person. He was filled with newfound energy and his back pain and vomiting were all gone. As the days passed, Aftab's condition continued to improve and soon the doctor removed his stitches.

The medical team at Nanavati Hospital continued to monitor Aftab's progress with additional tests, and soon he was declared fit to travel back home to Bangladesh.

Reflecting on his experience, Aftab was grateful to have found ClinicSpots as a source of medical treatment. 

 

He was impressed with the level of care and attention he received from the staff and doctors, particularly Dr. Ganesh Nagarajan who guided him through every step of his treatment. With renewed health and vigor, Aftab returned home to his loved ones, filled with hope and gratitude for the second chance at life that he had been given. His story is a testament to the power of hope, resilience, and the importance of seeking out expert medical care when needed.
