Doctor … She’s my friend “Mrs. X” ….wanted to show her reports to you. Basically, we need 2nd opinion.

Me… Please have a seat…. Please tell me what the exact problem is… I’ll see the reports after that.

Mrs. X.(age 50). :
Nothing much madam… I’m bleeding on and off. Not much – but little bit. But there’s absolutely no pain what so ever in my abdomen. I’m easily able to run my daily errands….Nor do I have any weakness.. I guess, these people are over-thinking… Worrying too much unnecessarily.

In fact, I stopped having my periods almost an year ago.
For that matter, I don’t even remember entering a hospital other than at the time of my delivery.

Well… After the check up, I saw the sonography report. And I asked her to get it done again from a senior sinologist.

The next day Mrs. X arrived jubilantly with the fresh report….
“The sonologist said that there was nothing to worry about. …and that madam will explain to you the details 🙂… He’s such a nice doctor”

Me : Well…. I beg to differ. My opinion is a little different. I think, we should go in for a biopsy. Then only , we can be 100% sure about the diagnosis.

Mrs. X: Madam… It’s wedding season. I own a beauty parlour. I have too many orders pending… What should I do?🙄.

Me: My sincere advice to you is, you should get the biopsy done ASAP… Without any further delay.. and once it shows that the reports are normal, then you can resume work immediately.

Well… The biopsy was performed. The reports came in after 3 days.

#UterineCancerStage0

We planned the surgery immediately… Without further delay.
The patient is now handling the parlour brilliantly well, just within a month!!!
This is real life story of a lady from Pune who has overcome Cancer and is a true fighter!💐

Name withheld to protect her identity.

Note : The lady didn’t have any other symptoms other than sporadic – irregular bleeding. Neither did the girth of her abdomen increased, nor did she lose weight, and there was no abdominal pain or discomfort what so ever.

That’s why it is so very important to get yourself screened and checked up regularly.
A stitch in time – saves nine!!!
