Testimonial by Smt Pathak
Smt Pathak, who was diagnosed to have a very large brain tumour narrates her experience in her own words: ”When Dr. Jaydev Panchawagh told me about the tumour, i was very nervous initially. I had a brain tumour and that too a very large one! This tumour was a very large ‘meningioma’, a benign tumour was located in and stuck to critical structures in the brain. In front, it was stuck to a large blood vessel known as the ‘vein of galen’ which drains blood from the central-most important part of the brain. Below, it was partly adherent to ‘mid brain’ which is a very important and critical part: the smallest damage here can cause instant threat to life. The tumour was stuck behind to yet another large blood channel known as ‘the torcula.”
Dr Panchawagh adds: In the past, such tumours were dreaded and anybody who survived such an operation was considered lucky. Such large brain tumours are rare and need modern neurosurgical techniques to remove them completely. The remarkable point in this patient was not only the fact that it was massive in size but was located in an eloquent area of brain. Mrs Pathak says: The first thought in my mind was …….”Why me?” I was afraid of being invalid after such a difficult surgery, but Dr Panchawagh and his team reassured me. I was pleasantly surprised when i was made to walk on the very next day following surgery. My pre-operative headache was totally gone and except for a little discomfort at the operation site, I had no problems at all.
