    from Bengaluru, Karnataka

My name is Anand Babu Swargam and I am here to raise funds for my wife Ritu Swargam who is bravely fighting to defeat "RELAPSED Lymphoma Cancer, Stage 4".

In May 2016, Ritu Swargam (F / 41 yrs) was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis involving in her lungs. She was treated with Steroids and had symptomatic improvement.
Later she became symptomatic with cough, weakness and tiredness by the end of 2019. She was treated with medication with partial response.
Subsequently she had increased fatigue and drop in heameoglobin and developed lymph node enlargement under chin in June 2020. Biopsy was done and histology was suggestive of Limphoprolifirative lesion.

On 22 Aug 2020, she was shifted from VP Magnus hospital and admitted at Cytecare Cancer Hospital where her condition was critical with Renal failures, Delirium and other symptoms.
She was diagnosed as : Diffused Large B-cell Lymphoma - Stage IV (4) Cancer.
She was on medication and Chemotherapy. (6 Cycles of Rituximab and 2 cycles of Methotrexate). The treatment commenced on 24th Jan 2021.

By mid of March 2021, Ritu had observed prominent Lymph nodes on her face and head. Subsequent Biopsy tests and PET Scans revealed Relapse of Diffused Large B-cell Lymphoma - Stage IV (4) Cancer.

It had become highly difficult to manage the costs of Medical treatments which now includes Multiple Chemotherapies and Proposed Bone Marrow Transplant.

- The Relapsed Cancer Chemotherapy cost is:
Rs. 4,16,680 (were Cytecare has given the help of PAP - Patient Assistance Program)
- Proposed Bone Marrow Transplant
Rs. 35,00,000.
- Tests and Medications tentatively
Rs. 4,00,000.

I will be needing more help through Crowd Funding for aiding the treatment of Relapsed Cancer for Ritu.
Do contribute and share this campaign link with your friends and family.
