With renewed vigour, the man continued with his treatment. He was advised surgery. His surgery was scheduled on 28th of
December. After the surgery, he was quite relieved. It was the first time in his life that after several months of despair, hope
dawned.

The journey did not end with the surgery. The COP team endured regular visits and follow ups to smooth out his recovery and
address every concern that came with it. Before the intervention, he was depressed and burdened by ignorance regarding the
ulcer. But now, he was a transformed man, hopeful and determined to embrace life.

This case is a testament to the transformative power of early detection, compassionate care and accessible health care solution.
It under scores the critical role of awareness and community outreach in battling with cancer. The team efforts not only saved
a life but also rejuvenated the hope for the entire family, standing for the true sprit of unity and resilience in the fight against
cancer.
