Your Care, Step by Step
What to expect at your first visit.
Cancer is a conversation, not a verdict. Here is exactly how your care unfolds — from the first appointment through to follow-up — so nothing comes as a surprise.
The pathway
1
The first consultation
Dr Khare listens to your history and performs a careful physical breast examination. Based on that, he advises the investigations you need — usually imaging (a mammogram, ultrasound, and sometimes an MRI) and, if a lump needs to be checked, a core-needle biopsy.
2
Reviewing your reports
Once your results are ready, you meet again to go through them together, in plain language. Where a case benefits from more than one specialist's view, it is discussed at a multidisciplinary tumour board (MDT) — surgical, medical and radiation oncology, radiology and pathology, all in one room — so the plan reflects the whole team.
3
Your plan
A clear, personalised plan is explained to you, and you decide together. You will always understand why each step is being recommended — and you are never rushed.
4
If treatment is needed before surgery
Some cancers are best treated with therapy before an operation (neoadjuvant treatment). Expert medical and radiation oncologists are available in-house, so your entire plan stays under one roof, with the team in constant communication.
5
Surgery day
A few pre-operative tests are arranged first. On the day, please come early with your documents, and fasting (NPO — nothing to eat or drink) as instructed by the team. Most patients are discharged the next day.
6
After surgery & follow-up
You meet again once the final histopathology (HPE) report is ready. Together you agree any further (adjuvant) treatment — radiotherapy, medicines, or hormone therapy as needed — and a clear follow-up schedule going forward.
Be prepared
