As per my understanding the patient is having severe back shoulder pain, legs pain, itching on the breast also the breast size has reduced. The patient feels it is because of cancer. Consult a physician, who on evaluating the reason and will guide you accordingly. The pain and the changes in the body can be due to various reasons it can be due to age related, deficiency of some vitamins and minerals, side effect of some medication if the patient is on medication, stress or some other Pathology. Lifestyle changes are also very important like eating right food, good and enough sleep, stress management, counselling. Consult a physician, refer this page if it helps - General Physicians in India. Hope our answer helps you.

Hello Mehedi! If it is what your doctor has said, then you should continue with your mother's chemotherapy till she comes to India. Judging from what you have written and the line of treatment adopted, I assume that the gall bladder cancer is unresectable. So in this case Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy or both can be used.

 

Factors effecting the cost - 

In case of Chemotherapy, you might already know that Chemotherapy cost depends on the drugs and the number of cycles the drug is administered. In case of Radiation Therapy the cost depends on the number of sittings. Overall, both these treatments will be comparatively at a lesser price in a Government Hospital but with the issue of being in a waiting list for treatment.

 

Approximate cost -

The costs are as follows: 

  1. Chemotherapy - Government Hospital - 200 USD to 500 USD ( 14,300 INR to 35600 INR. Private Hospital - 1200 USD - 1500 USD ( 85,300 INR - 107,000 INR )
  2. Radiation Therapy - Government Hospital - 3000 USD to 4000 USD (214,000 INR to 285,000 INR). Private Hospital - 4,000 USD to 5,000 USD (285,000 INR to 357,000 INR)

Hello Sandeep! Regarding treatment, the doctor will check the slide and block of mutation tests and then decide the line of treatment for you. If you aren't satisfied with your treatment in Pune, I would suggest you come to Mumbai for further treatment. As your disease has progressed quite a lot, I would recommend you come down to Mumbai as soon as possible. I would suggest you go to a Government Hospital.

If you have a donor (family member) then only you can only proceed with liver transplant. The cost of liver transplant in India would be approximately 35,000 USD (2,500,000 INR) and the cost of Surgical Resection can be approximately 3,500 USD (250,000 INR).
