Case study of a 70 year old lady post her Chemo and Radiation Treatment for Lung Cancer

LIFE BEFORE ATMANTAN

A 70 year old lady guest came to Atmantan in September of 2022, with the hope of getting well after several life changing incidents. 

She had been diagnosed with primary lung cancer (for which she had undergone Chemotherapy and Radiation therapy in March ‘22). She had also been previously diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019, for which she had gone through a lumpectomy. Another health concern was her back, as she suffered from a prolapsed intervertebral disc and had also had spinal surgery in 2010. Recently she had also suffered the loss of her husband, and she especially felt anxious and depressed. 

Along with her deteriorating health conditions, she  constantly felt tired, fatigued and was experiencing a loss of appetite along with low energy. All this had severely lowered her confidence levels.

She decided to come to Atmantan looking to heal.

HEALING JOURNEY AT ATMANTAN

After the initial wellness consultation with the Doctor, she was suggested to undergo the Holistic Health retreat for 21 days. The Doctor planned the treatment and diet, which helps in post-chemo recovery. The diet formulated was a low carbohydrate and a moderate protein and fat one. She was also given super foods with plenty of antioxidant rich ingredients and probiotics to help set the gut and revive immunity. Apart from the dietary prescription, she was also put on supplements that enhance the recovery and immunity; these supplements were Atmantan Naturals’ Curcumin+ (Contains pure turmeric extract and is an immunity booster), Antiox 3, Super Anti-ox 3 (Anti-Oxidants) Nutri liver, Natflam 6 (for inflammation) and Defence Max (natural viral defence and boosts immunity).

The treatments given were from the school of Ayurveda, along with some western therapies, Acupuncture, Yoga, physiotherapy and private meditation sessions. The guest had daily consultations with her Doctor as well, such that her progress was monitored daily. On the 3^rd day itself, the lady guest shared that she was feeling better mentally. 

In fact since she had come to Atmantan, she truly felt that the team was nurturing here and looking after her and she stated during her regular monitoring that slowly and steadily, all her complaints were being transformed; She was becoming her positive self again!

HER TRANSFORMATION

At the time of the departure consultation, the guest shared how her 3 weeks at here had… 

– Improved her quality of Sleep

– Felt more energetic and active

– Bowel habits had gotten better as she now felt hungry enough to eat, and even the food tasted better

– Was also able to socialise better, and she had willingly participated in the group activities (which she was hesitant to in the beginning

– To her, her body felt more supple, flexible and lighter. 

– Her exercise tolerance had also improved, and she took initiative to actively participate in various activities here at Atmantan

– And her overall mood was elevated

She was extremely grateful to the team and felt her time here had made her more stable, and she had gained back some of her confidence. She was now feeling strong enough to even return to her daily life.
