Dear Supporters,

Here is the September 1st week update. It's a positive week for Somitha, the doctor said that she was recovering slowly compared to last month from the chemotherapy.

1.Blood cells, platelets count at balanced levels in this week
2.15 days radiation treatment is completed and took CT scan for the treatment progress & the reports are normal, in that reports output impression mentioned as" No Significant Abnormality Detected in Brain", it means that no leukemic cells started infecting to the brain.

August month chemotherapy protocol is completed and she will be under observation for 3 days to check the platelets count and hemoglobin levels. The doctor suggested to take her to home for 5 days to relax the mind from the hospital environment, because from the last 45 days she is in the hospital room and afraid of the injections, felt home sick. The doctor will give out going letter on September 8th  for 5 days permission and back to hospital admit her again on September 13th. Then they will do bone marrow aspiration/analysis test for the August month protocol, if it is positive they will proceed to September month chemotherapy protocol, this time doctors are more confident about bone marrow test result, because they treated with radiation.

Last month we consulted TATA Memorial cancer centre for the second opinion, they checked all the reports  and said that treatment is going good, it's  better to continue in the same hospital and doctor told me that they will consider the cases like at the initial stage before starting of chemotherapy, but the doctor promised me for free consultation regarding the treatment status and details as the second opinion. Even yesterday we took the second opinion from the TATA memorial center. They told the same that her health was improved compared to previous weeks.

Actually 3 months chemotherapy treatment pending is there. But now doctor recommended only 2 months chemo protocol because of improvement in her health, if everything goes well means they will suggest for discharge, after that she has to use powerful antibiotics as medicine and injections for 6 months, along with weekly blood test & monthly CT scan, aspiration tests and normal oral tablet course for 1 year, 6 months after her discharge.

All she needs some more support for oral tablets, injections & regular medical tests. If she uses every medicine perfectly for 1-2 years and if the God's blessings with her means in this time span. Then there is no chance to affect again with leukemic cells (cancer cells) and no need to go for bone marrow surgery.

So please support her and every supporter please pray for a speedy recovery without going to bone marrow surgery, because it costs around 15-20 lakhs, her parents can't afford that much amount, they are financially poor.

And I specially mention one person along with every donor, i.e. Prithu. His support is unforgettable to save the child.

Thank you all once again. Please do keep her in your prayers.

Dear supporters,
 
Here is the update of August last week, from the last 11 days she has been taking the radiation treatment. The doctors suggest that it will be completed by 3rd September, but due to insufficient levels of hemoglobin, platelets & white blood cells. Treatment had been stopped for 3 days, doctors said that it's better to continue after her health stabilizes.

In this 3 days we bought around 23 units blood for her treatment and now she has recovered again from the weakness, due to radiation effect. Today evening they will again start with the radiation & it will continue for 4 days. From September 5th-8th they will do the August month pending chemotherapy protocol.

There are a few tests scheduled in September based on whose results the doctors will suggest bone marrow test based upon somitha's health condition. As of now, Somitha is a bit active compared to the last 2 weeks and I hope everything goes well soon without going to surgery. Please pray for somitha's recovery. Thank you for all the love and support.

Dear donors,

Somitha started her radiation treatment 3 days back and it will continue for 12 days. In this treatment process, she lost hair and blood levels decreased. We are trying our best to arrange blood packets daily.

Yesterday doctor took CT SCAN for the child & said that leukemic cells don't affect the brain and after completion of radiation there may be a chance to positive results in next bone marrow test, after that they will continue the pending chemotherapy of this month. The chemo session will continue until October end and again they will do 7 days radiation. Then the doctor will prescribe 18 months - 2 years oral tablet course based on the treatment results. We think total treatment expenditure will reach around 15-16 lakhs.

Thank you so much for the support. Please pray for her recovery.
