She fought cancer...and won!

Doctors at the hospital’s cancer department were recently faced with a unique problem. A 45 year old female patient was suffering from an advanced stage of breast and ovarian cancer. The advanced stage meant surgery; in spite of being the only long-term solution was not possible. Combining the various treatments available, doctors used Chemotherapy to downstage the cancer and reduce the size of the tumor. This helped to make the patient operable, and subsequently, surgery was conducted.
