Stage 4 Cancer Survivors: Inspirational Stories of Second Chances

Loknath Prasad: Stage 4 mouth cancer survivor

Loknath Prasad (60), a stage 4 mouth cancer survivor, was diagnosed with aggressive mouth cancer recently. The primary caregiver is his niece and his family, and they have visited several cancer hospitals in Delhi. None of them offered a timely treatment and had long hours of waiting period to even get a specialist consultation, so unfortunately they didn’t receive any polite behavior from the corporate hospitals in Delhi.

Later, they found out about the Oncare Cancer Center in Delhi, where they received on-time, effective treatment without any waiting period. They received timely treatment, including surgery and chemotherapy and radiation therapy, because their cancer was aggressive. The cancer survivor and his family are happy because of the polite behavior and services with experienced specialist attention.
