Patient Experience
As a 28-year-old software engineer diagnosed with a rare spinal chordoma, I was terrified of losing mobility. Dr. Saha designed a precision proton therapy plan that spared my spinal cord completely. Six months post-treatment, I'm back to hiking and owe my active lifestyle to his innovative approach.
My 82-year-old mother with inoperable lung cancer found new hope under Dr. Saha's care. He created a gentle hypofractionated radiation schedule that accommodated her frailty. She completed treatment with minimal fatigue and celebrated her 83rd birthday with our entire family, something we feared we'd never see.
When our 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, our world collapsed. Dr. Saha not only provided cutting-edge craniospinal irradiation but became her favorite 'doctor uncle' who explained everything using dinosaur analogies. She's now cancer-free and back in school, drawing pictures of her medical team.
As a professional musician with laryngeal cancer, I faced the nightmare of losing my voice. Dr. Saha's intensity-modulated radiation therapy targeted the tumor while preserving vocal function. I recently performed my first concert post-treatment to a standing ovation - my voice preserved perfectly.
Emergency radiation was needed when my husband's metastatic brain tumor caused seizures. Dr. Saha arranged treatment within hours and personally checked on him daily. The rapid response stopped the seizures immediately, and he's now stable enough to continue targeted therapy.
Our 16-year-old son's osteosarcoma in his femur threatened amputation. Dr. Saha coordinated with surgeons to provide neoadjuvant radiation that shrunk the tumor sufficiently for limb-salvage surgery. Our basketball-loving teenager is now walking without crutches and dreaming of coaching someday.
As a 45-year-old breast cancer patient needing radiation after chemotherapy, I appreciated Dr. Saha's holistic approach. He incorporated yoga breathing techniques during treatment sessions and provided customized skin care guidance. My recovery was remarkably smooth with minimal skin reaction.
When traditional radiation failed for my recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer, Dr. Saha proposed stereotactic radiosurgery. The single-session treatment eliminated the residual tumor that had persisted through previous therapies. Follow-up scans show complete remission after years of struggle.
My 90-year-old grandfather with prostate cancer received compassionate care from Dr. Saha, who modified treatment to just five sessions instead of the standard course. The reduced treatment time preserved his quality of life, and he maintained his independence throughout the process.
As a pancreatic cancer patient with limited options, Dr. Saha's innovative SBRT protocol provided precise high-dose radiation that other centers couldn't offer. The treatment controlled my local disease progression, allowing me to witness my daughter's graduation - a milestone I feared I'd miss.
Our 5-year-old's retinoblastoma required extremely precise radiation to save both vision and life. Dr. Saha used a specialized thermoplastic mask and daily imaging to ensure millimeter accuracy. Our child's vision was preserved completely, and the cancer shows no signs of recurrence.
When COVID-19 complicated my wife's cervical cancer treatment, Dr. Saha implemented safety protocols that allowed uninterrupted radiation while keeping her protected. His team's diligence meant she completed treatment without infection delay during the pandemic's peak.
As a truck driver with hepatocellular carcinoma, I needed radiation that wouldn't keep me off the road for months. Dr. Saha's SIRT radioembolization procedure required minimal downtime - I was back driving within two weeks with excellent tumor response on follow-up scans.
My mother's metastatic melanoma brain lesions were treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery by Dr. Saha. The precision was astonishing - she experienced no cognitive changes and was gardening the same afternoon. Multiple lesions were controlled in a single session with zero side effects.
