It was sometimes in 2018 when a very dear friend of Sandeep Wamne (Founder – CancerFax) , Amanda from Zimbabwe was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and wanted to visit India for her cancer treatment. She contacted Sandeep to help in finding suitable doctors and hospitals for her treatment. Sandeep contacted some of the best cancer centers in India for the best treatment options & cost estimate. Although cancer treatment cost in India is among the lowest in the world still the total cost of the treatment was coming out to be around $ 12000 + cost of medicines + cost of travel + cost of the stay in India. So overall she had to spend in access of $ 20,000 USD for her complete treatment. However, she didn’t have this much money for her treatment.

Amanda started looking for funds from family and friends for her treatment. After almost a month of borrowing from everyone, she could collect only approximately $ 8000 USD. Now the challenge was to find a center that is not only good but can also complete the treatment in this amount. After a few searches and contacts, Sandeep was able to find a hospital having an excellent breast cancer surgeon & other facilities. She arrived in India and fortunately her entire treatment was over in less than $ 8000 USD which includes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Also, the kind of personalized care and attention she got in a smaller center was much better than any big center. Amanda stayed in India for about 3 months. Amanda is free of cancer now and spents time creating awareness about the diease in her home country.
