Help Rahul Undergo Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Treatment

Story
Updates (1)

Rahul, studying to become an engineer, was first diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in Jan 2014 when he was just 16-years old. He underwent an 8-month chemotherapy cycle (as per BFM-ALL-90 protocol) and was on Maintenance chemotherapy until Aug 2016.

In Sept 2016, he had a relapse of ALL and was re-inducted into chemotherapy regimen with BFM-REZ-2002 protocol which completed in June 2017.

In July 2017, Rahul was diagnosed with a second relapse of ALL and he is now undergoing intensive chemotherapy. Given his age and positive response to the treatment, Rahul has been advised for Haplo-Identical Bone Marrow Treatment (BMT), as a curative option, with his mother being an HLA-match. While this indeed helps bring down the cost of the treatment, however it is expected that the cost of the complete transplantation treatment is around Indian Rupees INR 30 Lakhs (USD $ 45,800 / GBP £ 35,000).

We request your wishes and generous contributions to help Rahul's cause. Also, we request your support in sharing this campaign with your family and friends to help achieve the goal.

Thanking you for your blessings & support.

Dear Supporters,

Here is an update on Rahul.
Rahul is undergoing the 3rd cycle of chemotherapy sessions. Currently, he is in the hospital and has usual side effects of chemotherapy. He is also undergoing blood transfusion due to the decrease in the platelet counts.
Doctors have advised for the bone marrow transplant. His mother is the prospective donor for the bone marrow and the test for bone marrow matching is being conducted. The reports will be out by Oct 5 and the doctors will advise on further treatment procedures.

Thank you for your support and love.
Regards.
