​

Your name?

Pooja Jain

Which type of cancer do you have?

Breast cancer

When did you find out?

First, In 2022 I felt a lump when I was taking a bath. Then when we showed the doctor they prescribed some tablets for 5 days. The doctor said that if they aren't helping, we should have some other tests done. So I had a biopsy done, and after around 2 weeks the report came back as Stage 3 breast cancer. So after that we did treatment in Ahmedabad [another city], in which there were 8 chemotherapies and 21 radiation therapies. After that everything was normal, until 6 moths later the doctor looked at a CT-scan and said that some cancerous cells had spread into the bones and liver. So now I am taking chemos again

Does the government pay for your treatment expenses?

No, we have insurance that pays for us
