Supportive Cancer Care in Mumbai

Homeopathic care is individualised supportive care intended to complement — not replace — the treatment plan recommended by the treating oncologist. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy and targeted therapy continue exactly as prescribed.

Dr. Shadaab's postgraduate training in palliative care at Tata Memorial Hospital informs how supportive cases are assessed, particularly around symptom triage and knowing which complaints need immediate oncology review.

Care is planned around your treatment cycles, and any new or worsening symptom that could indicate a complication is referred back to your oncology team without delay.

Patients typically come to this consultation with one or more of the following:

• Persistent fatigue and weakness through treatment cycles
• Nausea, appetite loss and taste changes
• Mouth ulcers, dry mouth and difficulty eating
• Disturbed sleep and anxiety around treatment
• Constipation, diarrhoea or neuropathic tingling
• Skin reactions in radiotherapy fields

• Patients under active oncology treatment seeking symptom support
• Patients in survivorship managing lingering fatigue or neuropathy
• Families seeking coordinated supportive and palliative input

1. 1Review of the oncology plan. Diagnosis, staging where known, treatment protocol and schedule are reviewed first so supportive care fits around the cycles.
2. 2Detailed case taking (60–90 minutes). Your full history — complaints, timeline, past illnesses, family history, sleep, digestion, temperament and stressors — is recorded before anything is prescribed.
3. 3Review of reports and current medication. Existing investigations and prescriptions are reviewed so homeopathic care runs alongside, and never in conflict with, your ongoing medical treatment.
4. 4Individualised remedy selection. A single classically selected remedy and potency is chosen for you as a whole person, rather than a fixed formula for a diagnosis label.
5. 5Ongoing triage. Fever, bleeding, severe pain, breathlessness and other red flags are directed straight back to the oncology team, not managed homeopathically.

Patients consult from across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. In-clinic appointments run at Sion, and video consultations are available where travel is difficult.
