Alaska Patient's Success Story Colon Cancer Surgery In India

For the last 33 years I’ve worked hard at my job in Alaska, USA. My wife , has never known me to tire easily but suddenly, I started losing my appetite, my energy disappeared and my weight started dropping off. My wife knew something was wrong! She made a doctor’s appointment for me and the doctor ordered blood work and a CT scan. The CT scan showed cancer, a colonoscopy was done and it was confirmed there was cancer in the colon. I was devastated. Having no health insurance I could never afford it so I thought I would die.

One day my wife and I were attending church services when a friend told us she was treatment in India by Forerunners Healthcare Consultants for her cancer treatment. She had cancer in her blood. My wife and I called Forerunners Healthcare Consultants and the staff there made the travel arrangements to fly us to India from Alaska. A doctor then evaluated me, he told us, “We have a good chance—a 90 percent chance or better—of killing the cancer.” Ninety percent! Not 23 percent. I was aware there were various treatment options available, when surgeon recommended have colon removed minimally invasively through a laparoscopic procedure. I felt very comfortable with my surgeon’s recommendation. I discussed my options with my family and decided to have the minimally invasive procedure.

After I underwent the procedure, I was able to start walking around the hospital the next day. I was very impressed with the care I received at this hospital. The hospital is excellent with advanced facilities. The doctors and staff all spoke English and were very caring. They carried out their work professionally and satisfactorily. I would recommend anyone to go through Forerunners Healthcare Consultants as they organized my treatment in a prompt manner and ensured that the best specialists saw me. The services I received from Forerunners Healthcare Consultants and the hospital were fantastic and value for money.
