You will need the background to get some of the Gravity of our scenario:
When a loved one is involved, cost becomes secondary. With that mindset, we initially consulted Manipal (Old Airport) for a nearly 80-year-old diabetic patient.****Proposed Treatment at Manipal****** Partial cancer removal followed by plastic surgery** Two surgical wounds (removal + reconstruction) with drain tubes** 6–7 hours of surgery under anesthesia
* One month of radiation
* Estimated cost: ₹6–8 lakh
* High physical strain due to age, along with travel and recovery challenges
* Possibility of recurrence requiring further surgery and chemotherapy
This approach felt extremely demanding for an elderly patient.
Treatment at Cytecare: Dr Sushruta*** Complete cancer removal in a single surgery
* No radiation required after testing confirmed
* Total cost: ₹2.1 lakh
* Faster healing and significantly less pain
The focus here clearly seemed to be what was **** suited for the patient’s condition and age *** *** **** *** ***** ******** ** ***** *****
About Dr. MS Shusrutha***
In a time where many doctors appear rushed, Dr. Shusrutha stands out.
* She takes the time to explain the condition and treatment options clearly** Ensures that patients and families fully understand before proceeding
* Focuses on minimizing pain and choosing the most appropriate treatment
* Communicates with dignity and empathy, especially important in sensitive conditions like breast cancer
My mother felt safe, respected, and cared for—not just treated as another patient. She was approachable, patient with questions, and genuinely attentive.
Having grown up around Army hospitals, the medical profession, I deeply value what good care looks like. In a difficult situation, I am truly grateful to Dr. Shusrutha for her professionalism, compassion, and patient-first approach.
Thank you, doctor, for upholding the true spirit of medicine.
The doctor explained things, but there was a long wait time at the clinic. I am not ready to recommend Dr. M S Sushruta yet, as I have visited only once.
