The Diagnosis

It was a usual day for Ali Qasim in his store in Yemen. Going through the motions of the day was especially tough these days due to his cough. Mr. Qasim had had a persistent cough that had lasted on and off for almost a year now. However, he didn’t think much of it, as he dismissed it as some sort of persistent flu or allergy.

But on this day, Ali had a tough time dismissing his cough. His persistent cough had gotten significantly more aggressive, making his day to day activities difficult to conduct. Ali realized his problem was severe, when he had to excuse himself from a meeting to cough, and noticed blood in his spit. Ali had periodically dismissed his wife’s concerns over his cough, but no more could he do that. A hasty visit to the doctor confirmed Ali Qasim’s fears.

Mr. Qasim couldn’t believe that he had lung cancer. After all, he didn’t even smoke a single cigarette in his lifetime.

Unfortunately, lung cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Lung cancer itself claims more lives yearly than breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined. Adenocarcinoma is the most common kind of non-small-cell lung cancer. It is responsible for 40-50% of lung cancer cases. It mainly occurs in patients who currently smoke or who used to. It is also the number one type of lung cancer among nonsmokers.

What Is Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer is a cancerous cell mutation that occurs in the lungs and can spread to other parts of the body. Not only is it the top cause of cancer deaths worldwide, but it’s also a preventable type of cancer. Simply by not smoking cigarettes and tobacco and avoiding secondhand smoke, one can lower their chances of contracting it.

Lung cancer begins in the walls of the lung’s airways known as the bronchi or bronchioles or air sacs, known as the alveoli.

Over 20 various types of lung cancer exist. Non-small-cell lung cancer and small-cell lung cancer are the main types.

Mr. Qasim’s lung cancer may have been a result of smoke pollution or smoke inhalation, prolonged exposure to which is a common source of cancer.

According to the doctors Mr. Qasim consulted in Yemen, he would have to travel overseas for a good quality lung treatment. The doctors even told Mr. Qasim, that his cancer had progressed enough for him to need a lung transplant. This information left Mr. Qasim and his family in a terrible situation.

Mr. Qasim and his family began contemplating the possibility of pursuing treatment in the United States. However, they soon came to realize that that would be an extremely expensive endeavor. Mr. Qasim and his family could not afford treatment in the United States without it rendering them completely penniless.

The Medical Journey of the Patient to India for Treatment

A relative of the Qasim family, who had pursued treatment in India from Yemen, informed the family about GoMedii. In Yemen, getting the appropriate treatment was next to impossible for Mr. Qasim. However, in India, they realized that Ali could pursue world-class treatment for a lung transplant at a fraction of international costs. In India, Mr. Qasim could get state of the art medical care. Hence without further delay, Mr. Ali and his wife began planning their medical journey to India and approached GoMedii.

Mr. Qasim and his family’s minds were set at ease as they communicated with their relationship manager at GoMedii. Lung transplant and treatment in India has made major strides.

Mr. Qasim and his family were overjoyed to find out that the same quality of treatment as the United States would cost them a fraction of the cost in India through GoMedii. This eased the stress on their minds and enabled Mr. Qasim to have a stress-free post-operation recovery after his treatment in India under GoMedii’s care.

When Mr. Qasim approached GoMedii and told his GoMedii relationship manager about his condition and situation, the team at GoMedii promptly began their own work. While informing Mr. Qasim about the documents and medical history that would be required from his end, the team set up a consultation for Mr. Qasim with one of the best oncologists in India for just $20 USD.

After his consult, and once the doctor had gone through Mr. Qasim’s documents, it was confirmed that Mr. Qasim and his wife would be traveling to India for treatment. This was made possible through GoMedii, whose team took care of Mr. Qasim’s medical visa for travel to India for medical reasons.

The Treatment in India with GoMedii

Convinced that they were making the right choice by traveling to India and pursuing treatment through GoMedii, Mr. Qasim a few days shortly after contacting GoMedii was ready to travel to India from Yemen.
