Jamana Srimali's Story

~Patient's husband speaking

​

Your name?
My name is Rameshwar Srimali

And your relation to the patient?
My wife, Jamana Srimali

When did you find about about this [cancer]?
We found out in March 2023

And what type of cancer is it?
First there was just a small tumor, but when we did some tests it came up directly as Stage 3 breast cancer

Did you do any sort of dieting or other things [like herbal treatments, Ayurved, etc.] during the treatment.
No, we just stuck with what the doctor said.

So what type of treatment is going on?
First there were 6 chemos, then a surgery to remove the tumor, and then 25 radiations and again 10 chemos. There is one chemo session left ]after this one].

औSo how did you and the family feel, mentally and emotionally after diagnosis?
In the beginning we had felt uneasy for sure, but then the doctor said that there is nothing to worry about since nowadays all the treatments have advanced. So we went straight to Ahmedabad [another city], did the first 6 chemos there, and then did surgery here. Now we are continuing the treatment here in RNT Hospital.

Is there any advice that you would give to other people who've been diagnosed with cancer?
Well, what can we say, we aren't even able to find out about cancer easily. We don't even eat fast food and other risk-foods, but still this happened, so what to say? Just one thing: once one finds out, they go begin treatment as soon as possible. We had delayed that a bit by the time we began treatment, so maybe it we could've fared better.
