With Mr. Mahesh’s consent, we mark a deeply meaningful milestone—he completes five years after treatment for tongue cancer. He underwent tongue surgery with robot‑assisted neck dissection using the RIA‑MIND (infraclavicular) approach, a technique designed to conceal incisions below the clavicle and enable precise dissection. Over these five years, Mr. Mahesh has become a steadfast advocate—openly participating in awareness events and walking alongside many patients through their journeys. He has also shared his experience, including his voice after treatment, in this video: https://youtu.be/n29CotgUyb4
Here’s to his resilience, his advocacy, and the community he continues to uplift.
