Let us know how Angel from Nigeria defeated her skin cancer
Angel was working as a fashion blogger and she used to cover fashion shows in Nigeria for her blog writing. She was a well-known and respected figure in the field and many fashion models had come to her for advice. She dreamt of opening a fashion school in Nigeria.
In 2021, she observed some red scaly patches on her hand near the wrist. Initially, she did not care much about the ulcer and thought it was just a minor skin infection. But the ulcer did not get cured spontaneously.
Angel along with her husband David visited a dermatologist in Lagos. The dermatologist observed the ulcer carefully and then did a biopsy of her skin ulcer.
The biopsy revealed that Angel had stage 2 squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. But by looking at the biopsy, the doctor told them that her cancer is aggressive in nature and may require treatment as early as possible.
The doctor suggested that removing cancer by the laser may cure the problem temporarily, but Angel requires some advanced surgical treatment to remove cancer from deeper layers of her skin. He also suggested Angel contact MedicoExperts in India for further treatment action plans
Angel was initially hesitant to go to India. But, she could find a reliable dermatologist in Nigeria who could treat her skin cancer and cure it permanently. David advised her to
listen to the doctor’s suggestion and go to India for treatment
Angel along with her husband came to India for treatment. MedicoExperts suggested the best doctor from a panel of dermatologists.
In 2022, Angel underwent Mohs surgery to remove her skin cancer. The dermatologist removed some of the layers of her skin unless the cancer margin totally disappeared.
Although Angel had some scars on her hand, her cancer has been completely cured. There is no sign of recurrence till now.
The family went back to Africa and thanked MedicoExperts for the help.

Marie travelled from Ghana for a minimally invasive hip replacement surgery in India and was able to resume her daily activities pain-free.
Tell us about yourself
My name is Marie and I am 56 years old. I was prescribed medicine when I started to experience hip pain several years ago, had MRI performed, but felt no relief or adequate diagnosis of my hip disease. I couldn’t bend, or enjoy any of my previous activities. Moving my hip even a little would cause me immense pain. Eventually my doctors asked me to get an x-ray done, and the results showed that my left leg was shorter than my right and this could be corrected after a hip replacement surgery. I spoke to my local doctor and started checking for options to get this treatment.
How did you know about MedicoExperts?
While scrolling through Facebook, I came across an advertisement about minimally invasive hip replacement surgery, and quickly filled up the enquiry form. Within 24hrs, I got in touch with their patient care expert and began discussing my condition. The orthopaedic surgeon in India reviewed my reports and said that I was a good candidate for minimally invasive surgery. And with that I began my plan to travel to India to receive my treatment.
How was your experience with MedicoExperts and the Indian Surgeon?
My experience was very good. MedicoExperts team kept in touch with me throughout my journey and was very kind and helpful. My surgeon too was excellent and I was discharged from the hospital very soon. I was able to resume work 2 weeks after my surgery and also have been able to move better. My life is better and renewed now.

I found MedicoExperts on Social Media – Facebook and they helped me to get the very good treatment done in Nigeria by the best Indian orthopaedic surgeon. Initially, I was scared and did not believe it was possible to get such good treatment in Ibadan, Nigeria where I live, but then I saw the name of the doctor and called MedicoExperts and I was told to visit the MedicoExperts Surgical Centre and get treatment in Nigeria. This has saved us the trouble and cost of travelling and accommodation. I gave this a try and my mother can walk now, and I really impressed with the outcome. I will fully recommend this to anyone out there.
