~Patient's husband speaking

​

What type of cancer does she have?
She has stomach cancer.

How did you find out about it?
She used to have stomach pain, so we got tests done, and that’s how it was diagnosed.

What treatment is currently going on?
She is undergoing chemotherapy; it’s been four months now. Before that, she had a uterus operation, after which it was discovered that she had cancer.

Are you paying for the treatment yourself, or is it covered by the government?
The government is covering the expenses.

How did you feel when you found out about the cancer?
At that time, I felt anxious; but now I’m okay. My wife is also doing fine.

What advice would you give to people who have just been diagnosed with cancer?
You have to stay strong, and the family members should also stay strong.
