Emebet Gebresenbet, a 55-year-old woman, faced a difficult battle with cancer. Five years after having both of her thyroids removed, she began experiencing symptoms of lung disease. Upon visiting the hospital, she learned that her cancer had spread from her thyroid to her lungs. It was discovered that she had not been taking the necessary iodine medication after her iodine treatment, which contributed to the cancer’s progression.
In search of the best treatment, Emebet turned to Manaaki Healthcare. The organization connected her with Dr. Dabas at BLK-MAX Hospital in India, arranging her travel and coordinating her medical appointments.
Emebet and her family traveled to India, where Dr. Dabas conducted a PET-CT scan and a biopsy. The tests revealed that the cancer was confined to her lungs and had originated from her thyroid, making it treatable with Radioiodine Therapy.
Emebet underwent three weeks of successful Radio Iodine Therapy. She returned to Ethiopia with a renewed sense of hope. Emebet was instructed to return for follow-up treatment six months later, and Manaaki Healthcare is assisting her with these arrangements.
Emebet’s story highlights Manaaki Healthcare’s dedication to providing exceptional care and support, playing a crucial role in her successful recovery.
