250 DoctorsVivaan Verma, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Vivaan Verma, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had always been diligent about his health. His father had passed away from colorectal cancer at 60, a shadow that lingered over Vivaan. For months, he noticed intermittent bright red blood on the toilet paper and occasional pencil-thin stools. Fearful of a diagnosis like his father's, he delayed seeing a doctor, consumed by anxiety. His wife finally insisted he get checked. The surgical gastroenterologist, understanding his family history, recommended a colonoscopy. During the procedure, a single, 1.5 cm tubular adenoma was found in his rectum and excised. Vivaan was under sedation and felt nothing. The recovery involved mild cramping and a day of a soft diet. The biopsy came back benign with no signs of cancer. The emotional relief was profound. Vivaan went from carrying a heavy burden of fear and guilt about his health to feeling empowered and vigilant. He now champions regular screenings to his friends and colleagues, turning his fear into a mission for prevention.
