Mr. Anthony Nwaka was diagnosed with colon cancer in December 2022. The news came out as a shock for him, and he was scared for his life. He started searching online on Google for the best cancer treatment centers worldwide. That's when he came to know about Fortis Hospital, Noida, and Vaidam Health. He contacted us by filling out a form on our website.

He sent us a few medical test reports and a biopsy. We acted promptly and got his reports reviewed within 24 hours with the specialists at the Fortis Hospital. He was called to India for proper management of the disease.

He came here with her sister and consulted Dr. Jalaj Baxi, a well-known surgical oncologist with over 26 years of experience. The doctor advised six sessions of chemotherapy and hemicolectomy (surgically removing a portion of the colon). The surgery was successfully performed at the Fortis Hospital, Noida, where he also received one chemotherapy session. He would take the rest of the sessions in his home country, Nigeria.

His condition has now improved, and he is delighted with the results. They stayed in India for about one month. Our team members were always with them throughout their medical journey. They never felt like they were away from their home. He thanked us for the assistance provided by us.

Looking at his recovery after the treatment, Anthony wants everyone to know that cancer is not a death sentence and that it is possible to beat the disease with appropriate care.

We hope for a quick recovery, and he gets cancer-free soon!
