My brother, Abu Hussam, is from Iraq, and our family went through one of the most difficult times of our lives when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It all started with severe jaundice. His skin and eyes became yellow, and he suffered from unbearable itching, weakness, and loss of appetite. Doctors told us that there was a tumor in the pancreas blocking the bile duct. A bile duct stent was inserted in Iraq, but unfortunately the stent became blocked, and his condition became worse day by day.
At that stage, our entire family was under extreme stress and fear. We were searching everywhere for the best pancreatic cancer treatment option. Then, through WhatsApp, we contacted Zia from Heal India Tourism and shared all of my brother’s medical reports. From the very first conversation, we felt trust and hope. Heal India Tourism carefully reviewed all reports and arranged multiple expert opinions from top cancer specialists in India. For the first time, we truly believed that my brother could get a new life.
Based on the medical advice, we decided to travel to India for treatment. Heal India Tourism arranged everything for us, including medical visa guidance, hospital coordination, airport pickup, hotel arrangements, and complete support throughout the journey.
My brother was admitted to Max Super Speciality Hospital under the treatment of Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, one of the leading pancreatic and gastrointestinal cancer surgeons in India.
First, the doctors replaced the blocked bile duct stent with a new stent, which immediately improved his condition and reduced the jaundice. After complete evaluation and investigations, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar successfully performed the highly complex Whipple Surgery (Pancreaticoduodenectomy) for pancreatic cancer.
The surgery was successful, and by the grace of Allah, my brother started recovering very well. Even though it was a major cancer surgery, he recovered nearly 60–70% within just 10 days after the operation. Follow-up scans and medical evaluations also showed positive recovery results, which gave our family great relief and happiness.
Throughout our stay in India, Heal India Tourism supported us like family. From hospital visits and doctor consultations to treatment discounts and local arrangements, everything was handled professionally and smoothly. The complete pancreatic cancer treatment and Whipple surgery in India was completed at an affordable cost of approximately 7,500 USD.
Today, our family sincerely thanks Allah, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, the medical team at Max Super Speciality Hospital, and Heal India Tourism for saving my brother’s life and giving him a second chance to live.
