Sai Chopra, a 58-year-old restaurant owner,...
Sai Chopra, a 58-year-old restaurant owner, had been experiencing persistent, dull pain in his upper abdomen for three months, accompanied by unexplained weight loss and occasional nausea. His family history included pancreatic cancer in his father. His gastroenterologist, Dr. Mehta, recommended a CT Abdomen to rule out pancreatic or other abdominal malignancies, concerned by the subtle but progressive symptoms. Sai was anxious but cooperative during the scan, finding the contrast injection warm and strange but not painful. The results showed a benign cyst on his pancreas and severe gastritis, but no cancer. Treatment shifted to medication and diet modification. Emotionally, Sai moved from a state of dread, fearing a terminal diagnosis like his father's, to immense relief and a renewed focus on managing his health proactively.
