Dr. Wasim has truly been a blessing for our family.
My mother was diagnosed with cancer in the vocal cord and food pipe area. Initially, after some basic tests at Soumya Hospital, we were informed about the seriousness of the condition and were referred to consult specialists. We visited multiple reputed hospitals, but we did not get the confidence or clarity we were looking for.
Finally, we visited Apollo Hospital, where we met Dr. Wasim. From our very first meeting, he carefully reviewed all the reports and explained the entire treatment procedure in great detail. That first consultation itself gave us hope and confidence—we felt that we were finally in the right hands and that my mother could recover under his care.
My mother was extremely anxious and scared at that time, but after speaking with Dr. Wasim, she felt calm and reassured. He advised us not to waste any time and immediately start the treatment. Throughout the radiation and chemotherapy process, Dr. Wasim personally motivated and encouraged my mother on a daily basis. His support, kindness, and guidance meant a lot to us during this difficult phase.
After completing radiation therapy, a PET scan was done as advised, and all reports came back normal—my mother was cancer-free. For us, Dr. Wasim was nothing less than a godsend during that period.
Due to the tumor on the vocal cord, my mother temporarily lost her voice. Dr. Wasim had already explained this possibility in advance and assured us that her voice would gradually return. He also guided us regarding speech therapy, which we followed diligently. Within four months of completing radiation, my mother started speaking clearly again.
Looking back, we are grateful that we acted quickly when my mother had persistent coughing for a long time. After several medications and home remedies failed, an ENT specialist identified a lump and referred us for further testing, which eventually led to the correct diagnosis and timely treatment.
We will always be thankful to Dr. Wasim for his expertise, honesty, compassion, and constant support. We highly recommend him to anyone seeking the best cancer care.
