Kamalamma, aged 60 is a hearing impaired widow
Kamalamma, aged 60 is a hearing impaired widow. She used to work for daily wages in the fields near her house. She stays with the family of her elder son, a daily wage earner. A year back, Kamalamma noticed a lump in her left breast. She was admitted for 3 months in Chennai General hospital (intermittent) during which time tests were done. She was diagnosed with Cancer breast and advised chemotherapy. She was unhappy with the treatment suggested and left the hospital without getting discharged. After 4 months, she noticed a lump in her right breast, which ulcerated. Her left hand started swelling due to lymph edema. She took Homeopathy medicines locally and felt some relief. She was then referred to Dean Foundation by a neighbor.
