Fighting Cancer
Samar’s stomach started paining one day while playing. His right hand also got swollen up. The doctors did an X-Ray and diagnosed it as a fracture. While the swollen arm was plastered, the child lost appetite over the next one month. Samar’s stomach started to swell up and legs became thinner. He was also feeling hungry all the time and a small tumor was found in his neck.
The parents took the child to Satyam Hospital in Raibareli where few blood tests were done done and then the child was referred to the Kamala Nehru Hospital in Allahabad. Here the child underwent blood tests, X-ray, CT Scan, and USG and was diagnosed with blood cancer. The family then came to Mumbai for treatment. Samar had completed 4 cycles of chemo at the Sion Hospital.
Challenges
The family had to undergo different diagnoses initially. This was not cheap, especially when the family faces financial challenges.
