My then 70yearsold mother diagnosed with esophgeal tumour, sometime in october 2016, precisely 25th october we met Dr Ganapathi raman Dr Vikas mahajan. In this big journey called life, met few drs, but meeting with Dr ganapathi raman, Dr Vikas mahajan and Dr Mahadev Potharaju is fresh, my mother is at low weight unable to swallow, weak,but strong willed, i am always thankful for her for the strengrh she gives me despite her condition, this drs visit brought huge hope!they are jovial, but serious at work, knows what works for whom, and how to handle elderly patients with respect, ( i stress this point, have seen some drs just brushing off any comment under the blanket of elderly...)they treated amma with care and respect, and gave enough support to care takers ... Amma had two low sodium episodes during her treatment, becauee my not feeding properly, drs took care of that, and gave me enough support, and brought amma back to normal in 3 months!!! We had severe cyclone, Ms. Jayalalita's demise and we had another tragedy in family, my brother inlaw met with fatal accident and was in greams road in coma, i had failed fertility journey looming under suspected tumour ..... Pretty scary, helpless days they were...i can say very happily, this dr trio, Dr ganapathi raman, dr vikas mahajan and dr mahadev potharaju, they took full responsibility of amma, and took note of our mental status and brought normalcy to our life🙏🙏🙏 What medicines they gave what treatment they did how they planned all these beyond my scope, we just trusted them and they did their best!! Life moved on , after 8 yrs.... Some uncurable cough amma had, we had our suspicions, she had swallowing difficulty again, we met same drs, our doubts were true.... Amma got tumour again... This time lymphs also added .... And amma is more aged now... 8 yrs got added, along with few heart complaints ... But her will and calm demeanour hasnt changed, definitely i grew old :) became more feared, relocated to India,adjusting to settle down, habdling man midlife crisis and woman menopause :) But This dr trio!!!! they havent changed!!!!! Their calm nature, handling amma with respect and showing care and will to bring nornalcy, nothing changed!!! Again we started treatment, tumour severity, age brought definitely their share , but our drs handled effeciently!! Concurrrent chemo and radiation almost month and half, and amma is free from clutches of crab again, well we have some concerns with her esophagus stricture and not able to swallow well, one lymphnode activity etc., But i am sure drs will take care, i dont need to worry, soon amma will be normal or may be at new normal!! I trust them! I have to mention, drs assistants, Madam seeli, Dr lokesh, dr yasmin and dr mridula at radiology for their help, care and treatment, dr lokesh never lost his patience at me, however annoying inquiries i did! God bless them always! No! Both times, they havent charged me huge, most of the times i got big discounts for costly pet scans, god bless them, that was and is much needed help, they always gave hope and treated amma well and still will do! Thank you Drs🙏🙏🙏
