A patient suffering from last stage of lung cancer reveals his story of success for cure for cancer. He says that the problem had started with normal cough, he travelled to many cities for the treatment of cough and started looking for the specialist of chest pain. Mr. John added further that he never smokes or consumes alcohol, and therefore was unaware that a non- smoker and non- drinker can also suffer from lung cancer. The family of Mr. John was totally in shock state and devastated when they came to know about John’s condition. They felt like it was the end for John.

As he was looking for the treatment, he was referred to Max hospital for the further cure. After reaching India Mr. John consulted Dr. R Ranga Rao MBBS, DNB - General Medicine, DM - Medical Oncology.

Dr. Rao assured the family members that the condition of Mr. John is treatable and he can go back home and lead a normal life. With the collaboration with the multi- disciplinary and the tumor board they made a combination of chemotherapy and gave a targeted therepy to Mr. John, they gave him about 4 administrative cycles of the therepy.

As soon as the chemotherapy started just by giving 1st cycle of the treatment, Mr. John his condition gradually started recovering, his cough was gone breathlessness was less and he was feeling much better with the treatment given. The family was really optimistic now to see him going back to his work and do lot of things of his daily routine happily, whereas when he came for the treatment he required support for everything, now he can sleep well and also goes to play golf. By second cycle he was able to lie down perfectly and breathe well as the cancerous fluid accumulated in the lungs was disappeared. He was responding well to the chemotherapies therefore the treatment was continued, similarly his tolerance with the chemotherapy was very good.

Mr. John felt very much confident after the treatment, and was feeling rejoiced and relived. He was very much impressed with the treatment at Max hospital and thanked every member of the team of Hospital for the care and services.
