Glen Ferriss Story of His Bladder Cancer Surgery in India
Glen Ferris's story of his Bladder Cancer Surgery in India
Glen was a businessman working hard and feeling great when he noticed a pinkish tinge to his urine. His urologist performed a cystoscopy, a test that permits inspection of the urethra and bladder. The procedure identified a Bladder Tumor the size of a robin's egg, and a small piece of tissue was taken for analysis.
At the end of a busy day at work, Ben's doctor reached him at his office with the test results. The tumor not only was cancerous, but also had progressed to Stage 3, an advanced form. The tumor was growing in toward the bladder. "How is the nursing home going to function, I thought," says Glen. "I was devastated." The family turned to Forur Healthcare Consultants, Glen says, noting that his sister was impressed with Mayo after researching bladder cancer on the Internet and his best friend had been treated there for cancer.
"I had the two most remarkable physicians at Forur Healthcare Consultants and became very close to them. Their confidence and competency was very important. Before the surgery, I knew that it would go well. I just took a deep breath and said 'Here we go.'"
Surgery in India was a life changing experience. I no longer think that the only outstanding medical care is found in the USA. We also were shocked at the costs being nearly 10% of the procedures here. We found everyone at Hospital in India, from the doctors and nurses, to the cafeteria and taxi staff, to be caring, thoughtful, generous and most competent. We fell madly in love with the Indian people.
We were very impressed with the Forur Healthcare Consultants team and for their complete focus on the two of us before, during and after our retreat. They made the experience unbelievably smooth and glitch free. We would not hesitate to set up another medical retreat with this company. We are most grateful.
