View allmy mom has cancer in the GI junction and already had chemotherapy now surgery is recommended but the treatment cost is too high for us can you suggest a good hospital that provides affordable care with proper facilities
For GI junction cancer surgery in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Nagpur), consider exploring government hospitals like the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) or the Maharashtra Cancer Care Centre for potentially lower-cost options while maintaining quality care. These facilities may offer subsidized treatment plans and have specialized teams for GI cancer surgery. You can also explore private hospitals like Sahyadri Hospital in Pune (though outside of Nagpur) which may offer more affordable options compared to some other private hospitals

I have pancreatic cancer and I'm really confused about the best treatment option for me. Some doctors recommend stenting, others suggest chemotherapy alone, and a few have mentioned Whipple surgery. I'm in Mumbai right now and would appreciate your advice on what would be the most suitable approach for my condition. I'm happy to pay the consultation fees once I hear back from you.
The best treatment for pancreatic cancer depends on several factors, including the stage of the cancer, its location, and your overall health. While surgery is the only potentially curative treatment for pancreatic cancer, it's only an option for a small percentage of patients. If surgery isn't possible, chemotherapy, radiation, and/or palliative care may be used to manage the cancer and improve quality of life
