Deepansh 6th cycle chemo and BMT is completed and is under recovery phase. It might take another 10 to 15 days to get discharged from hospital. After discharge he will be observed for couple of weeks and an MRI scan will be scheduled.
As of 10th June post 2nd surgery Deepansh was free of medulloblastoma but still there is scar (dead cells) tissue left near the brain stem which is difficult to remove. We will get inputs from the doctor for the next steps after his MRI scan.
He has been doing pretty well with regards to his weight and height. Deepansh has completed the Chemo therapy treatment successfully with all your blessings. Thanks so much again from all his family members. 🙏

Thank you for your love and support.
Below is the update on Deepansh's treatment:
For 6th cycle Deepansh was taken to Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia in United States, the neuro surgeon at CHOP has suggested for surgery and surgery was today (6-Jun) in US timings, surgeon was able to remove major portion of the residual tumor, they are testing the tumor to check the presence of active cells, initial test on a part of tumor has shown that it is dead tissue.
After he recovers from this surgery, 6th cycle will start, that will be high dose chemo with stem cell transplant.
Thanks everyone for your great support and prayers.

Hello All,
Deepansh has completed 5 cycles of chemotherapy. There was an MRI done after 5th cycle and scans show the tumor remained the same as it was after 2nd cycle MRI, good news is it did not spread to Spine and did not increase in size. Deepansh is now in US CHOP (Childrens hospital of Philadelphia) for further treatment. We did not get any action plan from the Doctors here, we will keep updated on the treatment plan. Thanks a lot everyone for your contribution and prayers.
