Writing from the practice
Short, practical pieces about the parts of cancer care nobody explains: how decisions get made, what is worth an appointment, and how to make a long journey count.
How your treatment plan is decided
Before anything starts, your case goes to a tumour board. Here is what that meeting is, why it happens before treatment rather than after, and what you should know by the end of it.
When a mouth ulcer is worth a second look
Most mouth ulcers are nothing, and they go on their own. The rule worth remembering is about time: anything still there after two weeks should be looked at.
Coming from out of town, in one trip
If you are travelling in from across Saurashtra, the appointment is the easy part. This is how to plan the day so that you make the journey once instead of four times.
Have a question this did not answer?
Book a consultation and bring the question with you. Explaining is part of the treatment.
