Cancer Survivors benefited By Rasayana Therapy
Lymphoma
My 85-year-old father kept him engaged in priest work after his retirement. He had a history of stroke in 2019 and hypertension for long. In September 2022, he started complaining of stomach pain and some episodes of vomiting. We went to see our physician for the same. He advised blood investigations and a CT scan of the stomach. The CT scan showed multiple tumors in his abdomen and the largest among them was nearly 11 cm. It shook all of us completely.
I rushed to seek opinions from well-known oncologists from different cities like Belgaum, Dharwad, Mumbai, Delhi, and Pune. As per the advice received by oncologists, we went for a biopsy. Unfortunately, it was an aggressive kind of cancer of white blood cells called Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in medical terminology. Doctors said it is of high-grade type and we should start chemotherapy immediately. We started with the chemotherapy without further delay but immediately after the first cycle, his sodium levels dropped along with his blood pressure. The condition further deteriorated within 10 days. Owing to this, the oncologist suggested discontinuing the further dosage of chemotherapy due to his poor tolerance. My father and our entire family found ourselves in the middle of nowhere.
I was in search of an alternative option for chemotherapy for him. By that time, my father had become very weak and mostly bedridden, unable to perform daily chores, and became dependent on me. I came across Rasayu Cancer Clinic, Pune. I came to know that doctors from Pune do visit KLE Ayurveda Hospital at Belgaum. I was pleased because it was more convenient for us to visit in Belgaum itself due to my father’s critical condition. I consulted Dr. Anand Patil in January 2023. He thoroughly studied our case and advised us to take palliative treatment of Rasayan therapy to improve his general health only. After consultation, Dr. Priyanka explained to me in detail the palliative treatment protocol and objectives of the treatment.
We started the treatment in January and within a month we noticed a significant improvement in his general health. Now he could walk with the help of a tripod. He gained weight by 3 kg. His blood pressure came to its usual range. As the response was positive, we maintained regular follow-up and followed all instructions religiously. Both the doctors gave us so much confidence and regular attention to the patient along with the physical examination every visit. After 2 months of the treatment, my father was fine with his daily activities and his food intake resumed to normal.
Till now he had recovered completely from the side effects he had experienced out of chemotherapy. Seeing a good response in his health Dr. Anand Patil advised us to shift him to a complete Rasayan therapy which includes a personalized medicine. This is how within 6 months, Rasayu treatment made miracle for us and gave quality life to my father. As per the protocol, Dr. Anand Patil has advised us for the PET CT scan. The findings of the scan brought a long smile to the faces of all of us as it showed almost near to complete regression in all tumors of the cancer.
Words fall short of expressing my gratitude towards Dr. Anand Patil for bringing my father back to his routine from deadliest condition of aggressive type of cancer and its treatment related side effects. His keen clinical expertise and pragmatic approach has helped my father to sail through this. I am thankful to Dr. Priyanka madam too for her support, regular follow up, and time to time valuable guidance.
Special mention for the approach of Rasayu Cancer Clinic which I find very scientific, and rational. That’s why, I have recommended Rasayu Cancer Clinic, Pune to many of my contacts for cancer treatment in the last few months.
Lymphoma
My wife noted the loss of appetite, weakness in lower limbs, and difficulty walking in Oct 2015. After considerable investigations, she was diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma. There was a 17 cm tumor in her abdomen. Tumor size was too large that it was encasing the largest blood vessel of the abdomen (aorta) and both tubes ureters. Because of blockage in urinary tract there was a build-up of hydronephrosis. Cancer had also spread to both lungs and in the spine and rib. As per oncologist, it was Stage IV. We were advised to start chemotherapy immediately. After giving the first cycle of chemotherapy she developed severe side effects.
My brother advised me to visit Rasayu Cancer Clinic. I met Dr.Bendale in Nov 2015. His opinion was that my wife won't be able to tolerate chemotherapy due to the advanced age, and advised to discontinue it. But we ignored his opinion and continued the chemotherapy further. But we started Rasayana therapy simultaneously. After the third cycle of chemotherapy, her condition worsened and she developed heart issues, weight loss, weakness, as side effects of chemotherapy. My wife refused the fourth cycle. She was admitted several times in the hospital for pneumonia and infection in the lower respiratory tract.
At this stage, we stopped all modern medicines and continued only Rasayana therapy. PET scan was done after six months showed complete disappearance of many nodal lesions and a significant reduction in the size of the tumor present in the abdomen. Her condition improved distinctly. She had put on weight. She was never hospitalized thereafter. She started to go for walks daily for 3-4 km. No one could believe she had cancer. Being a super senior citizen, earlier it was difficult for me to rush to hospital frequently and caring for her. Her improvement had brought me a lot of relief and comfort. She breathed her last in Apr 2019. I believe that she got an additional 3 years of quality survival with a fully active life. She was never bedridden for a single day. She passed away peacefully. Without Rasayana therapy, it could not have been possible.
Thanks to Dr. Yogesh Bendale, his team, and Rasayana therapy for adding precious happy moments to our lives. I strongly recommend Rasayana Therapy for cancer patients.
