Mauritius Patient's Victory Over Stage 2 Breast Cancer in India

When Mrs. Bibi Nazia Sultan, a 57-year-old woman from Mauritius, was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer, her first concern was not just treatment; it was clarity. She wanted to understand her condition, explore the safest options, and receive care that addressed both her physical and emotional needs.

After discussing options with her family, she decided to seek treatment in India, where advanced cancer care and coordinated treatment are available under one roof. With our team's guidance, she travelled to India to begin her treatment.

Patient Details

• Name: Mrs. Bibi Nazia Sultan
• Country: Mauritius
• Age: 57 Years
• Sex: Female
• Procedure: Mastectomy, Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy
• Hospital: Artemis Hospital, Gurgaon
• Doctor: Dr. Deepak Jha, Dr. Priya Tiwari

Arrival in India

Upon arrival, Mrs. Sultan's case was evaluated by a multidisciplinary oncology team at Artemis Hospital. Her treatment was led by Dr. Deepak Jha and Dr. Priya Tiwari, who together designed a comprehensive and phased treatment plan.

• Dr. Deepak Jha (Surgical Oncology): A specialist in Breast Surgery and Oncoplasty, Dr. Jha focuses on removing the cancer with high precision while ensuring the best possible aesthetic and functional outcome.
• Dr. Priya Tiwari (Medical Oncology): A renowned oncologist who managed Mrs. Nazia's chemotherapy, ensuring the treatment was effective while minimizing side effects.

The doctors explained that the most effective approach would involve mastectomy, followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy, to reduce the risk of recurrence and ensure long-term disease control. Every step was explained in simple language, which helped her and her family feel prepared and informed.

Surgery and Cancer Therapy

The mastectomy surgery was performed successfully, and Mrs. Sultan recovered steadily under close medical supervision. Once she healed adequately from surgery, she proceeded with chemotherapy, followed by radiation therapy, as part of the planned cancer treatment protocol.

Over the course of treatment, the oncology team monitored her response closely and adjusted care as needed. Nutrition support, symptom management, and regular consultations were part of her overall care plan.

Seven Weeks of Care and Recovery in India

Mrs. Sultan stayed in India for approximately seven weeks, allowing her to complete surgery and subsequent therapies without interruption. This continuity of care was important, as it reduced stress and ensured consistent medical follow-up.

Throughout her stay, our team supported her with appointment coordination, follow-ups, and day-to-day assistance. She could focus on treatment and recovery rather than logistics.

Her Experience

Before returning to Mauritius, Mrs. Sultan reflected on her journey:

When I heard 'Stage 2,' I was overwhelmed. But in India, I felt I was in safe hands. Dr. Jha and Dr. Tiwari were so professional, and the Qonaq team made sure I never felt alone in a different country. I am returning home with hope and health." - Mrs. Bibi Nazia Sultan

 

Her words reflect the importance of trust, communication, and coordinated care during cancer treatment.
