Breast Cancer – Triple Negative

Recently I have celebrated the 4^th Ganapati festival with my family. I offered self-made Modak and laddus to my Bappa. This is just because of Rasayana therapy. I was diagnosed with cancer of Right breast with metastasis in bones ( June 2016 ) – Stage IV.

• Initial Symptoms – Noted a palpable lump in Right breast, pain in Right hip joint and thigh in Jun 2016.
• Investigated – Lump of size 3.2 x 3.2 cm. Cancer had spread to bones of the pelvic girdle and 10^th rib. The lump was removed. The biopsy was suggestive of Triple-negative Ductal Carcinoma in Situ. I had heard from my oncologist that except chemotherapy there is no other significant treatment for triple-negative breast cancer. So as per his advice chemotherapy was started.

After 3 cycles she developed vomiting, pain in the abdomen, urinary tract infection. Because of the above side effects, chemotherapy was stopped in last week of July 2016. I was unable to complete only hope in my type of cancer.

I could remember, it was the Ganpati festival and I was completely bedridden. First time in my life I was not able to make home-made Modak and Laddus (Holy offerings) for my Bappa. I was afraid that I might not see the Ganapati festival next year.

My daughter insisted me to visit Rasayu Cancer Clinic. But I was not in a position to visit the clinic in person. Therefore, I requested doctors at RCC for a home visit. Dr. Anand visited me at home. After discussing with Dr. Bendale personalised Rasayana therapy was started in Sep 2016. My main concerns were persisting side effects of chemotherapy like nausea, vomiting, pain in the abdomen, urinary tract infection, and other complaints like loss of appetite, a lot of weakness, unbearable pain in the right side of the chest.

My nausea, the vomiting started decreasing within one week of treatment, and simultaneously appetite started to increase. My first 4 follow-ups were at my home. But within 2 months of Rasayana therapy, my energy levels increased. I made my personal visit to Rasayu Cancer Clinic in Nov 2016. Since then I am on Rasayana therapy alone. Today I am fully active. I am enjoying home parties with my grandchildren. I love to make pizza for them.

As a part of the Rasayu Cancer Clinic’s protocol, they tested my blood bimonthly and PET CT scan half-yearly. PET scan of Mar 2017 was suggestive of complete regression of cancer lesions in the body. My last PET CT scan done in Mar 2019 is also normal.

Just because of Rasayu, I am able to survive and celebrating all festivals with my family and living cancer-free life. Also, all medicines are easy to take. They can be taken at home. I have not experienced any side-effect with Rasayana therapy in last four years. As my all blood reports are normal, this indicates these medicines are safe in old age patient like me. May Bappa bless Dr. Bendale and his team for noble work they are doing.
