Mrs. Fovasio Yare Begum from Somalia has come to India for a successful CyberKnife treatment at the Best CyberKnife Hospital in India with the help of Tour2India4Health Medical Consultant.
Since 2018, Fowsio Begam from Somalia had recurrent headaches but was reluctant to go to a doctor. “I was in denial", said Fowsio. It wasn’t until 4 years later in January of 2021 while experiencing frequent unbearable headache that woke her 2 –3 times a night, she decided it was finally time to see a doctor.

We discussed with many people about how we can deal with this illness and most of the time we heard bad experience about lengthy series of surgeries or standard radiation therapy.”
Those who choose standard radiation have near forty two treatments over several months and usually feel so tired that they cannot experience in a better quality of lifestyles. “I knew that neither of those treatment options was for me. I didn’t know what I was going to do”, said Fowsio. With restricted options open at that time, they had been in a great place.
Realizing that they had to look abroad for treatment options, Abshir contacted his niece Aamiina, who lives in London. “The only mode of treatment we knew about till now about was traditional surgery and standard radiation. Until we discussed our cases to my niece who lives in England that’s when we learned about CyberKnife Radiation Therapy, It sounded very interesting. No one had ever told me about CyberKnife", said Abshir.
Cyberknife, additionally called SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy) is the most advanced radiosurgery technique available for treating cancer. It is non-invasive and decreases the risk of side results which can result from conventional treatments including surgical treatment and preferred radiation.
After learning about cyberKnife treatment in India, the family realized that this was the treatment they would be most comfortable with. Abshir researched the internet to find the best cyberknife location to Somalia and found the best CyberKnife hospital in India through Tour2india4health almost instantaneously. “I went thru the website to learn more and that I read and watched the wonderful patient success stories. I was convinced we needed to go to India for Fowsio’s treatment”.

Tour2india4health Medical Tourism India representative made all the necessary appointments at best CyberKnife hospital in India; and also made travel plans, including booking a hotel within walking distance of the hospital.

Just 15 days later, Fowsio Begam a series of 5 CyberKnife treatment in India, 1 treatment every other day, at best CyberKnife hospital in India.
Fowsio’s treatments were completed within 10 days; the only side effect was some fatigue. “I felt nothing during the treatment," said Fowsio.” Just three weeks after completing her treatments, she already felt better and stronger and no longer woke up during the night due to headache.
Abshir says that the team at best CyberKnife hospital in India was very accommodating. “The neurosurgeon holds expertise in cyberknife treatment was the best cyberknife doctor in India. He explained everything about successful cyberKnife treatment in India very professionally and he addressed our fears because we were very nervous.” A week later, Abshir and Fowsio returned to Somalia, content with the treatment they had received.
