Dr Mohit Verma (Caregiver to His Mother)

Dr Mohit Verma is a caregiver to his mother diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. Her mother is still undergoing treatment.

Symptom and diagnosis 

 The symptoms started all of a sudden in March 2020. When they went to see the doctor, he asked to do some tests, and his mother was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. The whole family was shocked as she was the powerhouse of the family. Different doctors gave different opinions. Finally, they decided to go ahead with AIIMs Delhi for cancer treatment. She started with chemotherapy sessions. 

The diagnosis came as a shock

 The whole family was shocked as she was the powerhouse of the family. When we consulted doctors regarding treatment, different doctors gave different opinions. Finally, we decided to go ahead with AIIMs Delhi for Cancer treatment.

Treatment and side effects 

The treatment started with Chemotherapy sessions. We were not at all aware of the side effects of chemotherapy. She suffered from depression in the first cycle itself. I must say that the doctors were excellent at AIIMS; they played a vital role in the healing process of both my mother and me. After six chemotherapy sessions, Surgery was performed, and then another two chemo cycles were performed. Finally, when we thought she was cancer-free, Cancer knocked on the door again in March 2021. Again six chemo cycles were delivered. She is still a cancer fighter.

 Dr Mohit says it is essential to stay positive no matter what is thrown at you. Think Positive, stay positive.
