Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma with AIDS

My sister in law is an HIV positive patient. In May 2015 there was an incidence of nose bleed. Ran to a physician. He advised to Nasal endoscopy. It was suggesting a nasal mass of size 60 x 40 mm. A biopsy was performed and diagnosis of Plasmablastic lymphoma was confirmed in Jun 2015. Bone marrow was also involved by plasmablastic lymphoma. Being HIV positive patient prognosis was poor. As per the advice of the oncologist, chemotherapy was started. As the patient was immunocompromised, we were in search of alternative therapy. Meanwhile one of my relatives advised me about Rasayu Cancer Clinic. We visited the clinic in July 2015. Personalized Rasayana therapy was started with the objective to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. But after the 3rd cycle of chemotherapy, we had to discontinue it as the oncologist noted a low count of white blood cells. She was hospitalized and there was gap of more than one and a half months. During this period, we continued Rasayana therapy. She showed marked improvement in white blood cell count and 4th chemotherapy was given thereafter. PET CT scan (Oct 2015) was suggesting a complete resolution of the tumor in the nose. As we saw good response of combined effect of Rasayana therapy and chemotherapy we decided to continue Rasayana therapy even after completion of chemotherapy. We strictly followed the protocol of the Rasayu Cancer Clinic. As per their gold-standard protocol PET CT scan is suggested half-yearly and blood test bimonthly. Her last PET CT scan was also suggested complete resolution of the mass. As there was a risk of recurrence, we continued Rasayana therapy alone under the guidance of Dr. Yogesh Bendale.

Today is disease-free and living a normal routine life. We know that immunity is lower as a  case of HIV patient but  we have never experienced a secondary infection. She was also very well during the entire duration of COVID-19 pandemic.
