    Deves Mukherjee

    from Howrah, West Bengal

Dear Friends and well-wishers,
We broadcast this appeal to you both with heavy hearts and fervent hope!
Deves Mukherjee, has lived a spirited, pious and graceful life so far.A kind, passionate, principled and humane soul; indomitable in spirit, unwavering in character  and unstoppable in his pursuit of life.

Deves is loved and valued even more as an elder Brother, a loving Son and a bosom Friend.Yet, in the prime years of his life at 35, Deves faces a near insurmountable adversary – A rarest form of Cancer – that threatens to snatch away every person, memory and dream from him that he holds dear today.
Sadly he has just been diagnosed with Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Colon with a mutated RAS – a form of cancer so rare the chances of anyone having it is next to one in a million. Regrettably, even its treatment is rare, and expensive. Very expensive.

Deves has already spent close to 18 lakhs INR ($27,939.47) by himself, to undergo a major surgery in TATA MEDICAL CENTER,KOLKATA. However the disease continues to spread
and the protein type has also mutated which lead to present chemo to be ineffective. His doctors have finally suggested a 3rd level of Chemotherapy best option for a cure.
Bevacizumab (AVASTIN)– an extremely expensive medicine – has been prescribed as an only possible chemotherapy treatment. Specifically, Deves needs to undergo a sustained FOLIFIRI Chemotherapy, alongside a 400 mg dosage of Bevacizumab(AVASTIN) every 2 weeks, for the next 3 years (minimum duration of a full treatment). Each 400 mg dose of Bevacizumab is worth a whopping 1.2 lakhs INR. Expenses for such a treatment is estimated close to 30 lakhs INR ($ 45,013.6) each year. This excludes hospitalization charges and any pre or post therapy medicines.
Our hope lies squarely on the success of this 3 year-long treatment but once it starts there is no looking back and he cannot commence the treatment as he will need enough funds to make sure he can continue the duration of 3 years.

Deves has been sanctioned 5.5 lakhs INR by his employers for the entire treatment ($ 8,537). Facing such a near impossible situation - he is planning to undertake a loan against his Provident Fund, and his Medical Insurance.
We appeal to you for your empathy and help.

The world needs more souls like Deves. Even more so now than ever! Just how Deves as touched so many through his zeal, mentorship, charity and compassion – We hope the many’s of this world can also reach out today and help him back on his feet; give him get a fighting chance for a future; to live a painless, fulfilling life of value.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated and you have you heartfelt thanks as you have tried to help to save  life.

Even you cannot make help financially please remember him once whenever you pray. He needs all the help he can get
