Colorectal Cancer

I am diabetic and hypertensive patient for over 22 years now. During first quarter of 2018, I noted blood in stool. I contacted general physician. He sent me to proctologist. I underwent series of investigation thereafter. At the end I was diagnosed with Stage III cancer of rectum. There was 4-5 cm long tumor in my rectum. I was immediately sent for surgery. A temporary stoma bag was placed in my belly for collection of stools. Histopathology report showed presence of cancer cells in one of the lymph nodes. There was fluid also developing in both lungs. 

Considering this clinical condition, I was advised to take few rounds of chemotherapy to avoid recurrence of the disease. I was not comfortable to go ahead with chemotherapy so, I decided to take opinion from Rasayu Cancer Clinic.

I visited Rasayu Cancer Clinic in Jun 2018. I met Dr. Yogesh Bendale and asked him about his opinion. He neither asked me to go for chemotherapy nor advised me not to take it. He just explained role of Rasayana therapy particularly in my case and discussed about pros and cons, and all possible outcomes. He spent more than half an hour to clear all my doubts. He said I as a patient was the best person to decide to choose the right option best suited for myself. Finally, I had decided to go with Rasayana therapy alone. First time in my life I came across a physician who freely discussed with me and gave me the choice of decision. 

After stoma closure I had problems of increased frequency of defecation and persistent weakness. These issues resolved within few weeks of starting Rasayana therapy. I had gained 3-4 kg of weight in a very short time. As per the protocol I was evaluated with some blood tests and PET scan half yearly. My first PET CT scan was done in Jan 2019. Study report was normal. I did my last PET CT in Mar 2020. It was also normal. Since Sep 2020 I have stopped taking Rasayana therapy too. I believe Rasayana therapy has also helped me through the phase of worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. I never experienced any difficulty or suffered from COVID-19. Today I am disease-free and living as a cancer survivor. 

I appreciate that RCC doctors spend a lot of time with the patients. The entire team of Rasayu listens to the anguish of the patients with empathy. They give proper time for consultation during each visit and address all concerns of the patient. They maintain proper record of all visits and remind us for due blood tests or PET CT scan. I would recommend Rasayana therapy for those who are reluctant or cannot take conventional cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.

Thank you Dr. Bendale and entire team.
