The Headmistress & The Smiling Doctor
At 60, Radha Devi (name changed) is a retired headmistress from Vijayawada who has now relocated to Bangalore. She discovered a lump in her right breast. Her doctor initially reassured her that it was just a benign fibroid, so she tried to push the concern aside. But as the pain became more intense, her worry grew. However, a serious leg injury from an accident soon took over her life, shifting her focus toward recovery and leaving the lump unattended.
Months passed, and the pain in her breast returned sharper and more persistent this time. Radha realized she couldn’t ignore it any longer. She began searching for the right doctor and turned to Google, hoping to find the right breast specialist in Bangalore. That’s when she came across Dr. Sivakumar. From the first phone call, his calm, reassuring voice immediately put her at ease. When she finally met him, his warm smile and gentle demeanor gave her a sense of comfort she desperately needed.
After a series of tests and a biopsy, Dr. Sivakumar gently informed her that the lump was malignant.It was the news she had dreaded, but his compassionate approach and clear explanations helped her conquer her fear. it. He patiently went over her treatment options, always maintaining that reassuring smile.
Dr. Sivakumar recommended surgery, followed by chemotherapy. Although Radha was afraid, his presence gave her the strength to move forward. She underwent a lumpectomy to remove the cancerous tissue, and with his expert care, she was back on her feet just three days after surgery, resuming her daily routine in the kitchen. His post-surgery attention made her recovery swift and smooth.
Next came chemotherapy, a part of the treatment she had been dreading. But once again, Dr. Sivakumar's comforting presence and constant encouragement made all the difference. He explained how important it was for preventing recurrence, and his dedicated team was there to support her through the side effects. What she had feared the most became manageable, all because of the care and support she received.
Today, Radha is cancer-free. She travels, attends family functions, and enjoys her life without fear. What once seemed like an overwhelming challenge became a battle she conquered, thanks to Dr. Sivakumar’s expertise and compassionate care. His unwavering support and reassuring smile gave her the courage to face her diagnosis head-on. For anyone going through a similar journey, Radha has one message: finding the appropriate or the best choice of cancer treatment is important, but finding a doctor who truly cares makes a difference. That’s what she found in Dr. Sivakumar.
