In early 2022, Hasan Ahmed felt a painful lump in his right elbow. The small lump turned into an unbearably large mass within a few days. Upon visiting his doctor, he was immediately referred for an MRI and a biopsy test. And the test results determined bone cancer.
Hasan Ahmed was a 30-year-old father of two kids when he was diagnosed with sarcoma in April 2022. There was a lingering fear in him and his family, as healthcare in Bangladesh was not as sophisticated as expected. Hasan decided to take matters into his own hands. He started looking for treatment options in and around Bangladesh. He didn’t know what destiny had in store for him. But he knew he would leave no stone unturned to receive the best possible treatment.

After extensive research, Hasan decided to seek treatment for sarcoma in India. He connected with ClinicSpots, a medical platform solving the queries of medical tourists to India from around the world. Our executives immediately got in touch with Hasan. They spoke with him on the phone and asked him to come to India at the earliest. Further, they collected the necessary information on his health in great detail to look for the best possible treatment options.
ClinicSpots executives connected with Dr. Manish Agarwal to discuss possible treatments for Hasan. Dr. Agarwal is a sarcoma specialist and is one of the best surgeons at the prestigious Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai. He has exceptional skill and proficiency in performing cancer surgeries and has executed many successful surgeries.
Hasan arrived in India on April 2, 2022, with his wife and one of his kids. ClinicSpots executives greeted him at the airport and assured him of constant support during his treatment in India. Meanwhile, our executives also arranged for his transportation and accommodation.
After Hasan arrived in India, he met Dr. Manish Agarwal at Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai. The latter referred Hasan to do a few tests so Dr. Agarwal could analyze the sarcoma in-depth. The following are the tests he took in India:
- Biopsy
- PET Scan (whole body)
- Blood tests
After analyzing the test results, Dr. Agarwal determined it’s a low-grade soft tissue sarcoma. He gave Hassan the affirmation and confidence that he would defeat cancer successfully. The mass of tumor on Hasan’s elbow was pretty big. Hence, Dr. Agarwal suggested both surgery and plastic surgery.
On April 19, 2022, Hasan underwent both surgery and plastic surgery at Nanavati Hospital. Dr. Agarwal and his team have efficiently removed the cancer-affected mass from his right elbow. The plastic surgery to repair his arm happened simultaneously with the main surgery, which also went very well.
After his surgery, his team of oncologists recommended Hasan get a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. He took radiation therapy for 5 days every week and underwent 30 such sessions. Doctors also gave him a light dose of chemo once every week. Clinicspots executives were also constantly there to support him and cater to his every need.
Surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy killed all the cancer cells in Hasan. He is as healthy as he was before. And most importantly, his effective and efficient treatment was done for no more than INR 10,00,000 (USD 12,664).
Hasan and his family are extremely satisfied with his sarcoma treatment in India. He left India for Bangladesh on June 22, 2022 and will return only next year for a follow-up treatment.
He has felt no complications after his surgery, therapies, or medicine and is all set to lead a happy life. Hasan is forever grateful to Dr. Agarwal and ClinicSpots for holding his hand and guiding the way in his darkest hours.
