Ramchand was 38 years old and a caterer by profession. His wife was unemployed and children were studying. One day, he noticed a swelling in the right side of the neck. The biopsy was negative for cancer. An ulcer developed in the neck, which gradually became very large and infected. It was then diagnosed as cancer and 34 fractions of radiation were given. Gradually, he found it difficult to open his mouth to take in semisolids or even fluids. Surgically, a tube was inserted in the stomach to feed him. He became extremely lean, weak and anemic. The ulcer on the right upper part of the neck (size of 2 ½" x ¾") became highly infected and foul smelling. He had sleeplessness, cough and extreme tiredness.
