He still needs continued supportive care in the hospital and the prognosis is not good at the moment.
It's been 25 days already that he got admitted and the medication has already costed 4.5 lakhs to the family supported by his wife and son ,Subhajit Basak and are running out of resources to continue the medication at a required level.
The estimated cost is around 7.5 lakhs. More details regarding the prognosis and the bills are attached. We thank you for the support you have provided already and will always be grateful if you can share and generously contribute to this initiative and help Mr. Basak recover this time as well. Please find in the documents section his latest medical condition report for your kind perusal.
This request is for my friend Subhajit Basak. His father, Mr. Madhusudan Basak, 65 years old, was detected with stage III adeno carcinoma which affected lungs in 2015. Since then, the cancer has been contained with chemotherapy every 3-4 weeks and his mental strength has always helped him sail through this painful procedure and kept him in good spirits all the time. He went for his scheduled chemotherapy to Tata Medical Center, Kolkata on 22nd May, 2021 but a severe infection affected his lungs during the treatment decreasing the O2 saturation level to 80%. Owing to his critical situation, he was admitted to the ICU and has been there since then. His body is showing progress slowly. Till now, the family has borne all the expenses and they also don’t have the required mediclaim resulting in a difficult financial constraint for them. Kindly provide whatever aid possible to help the family fight through this present crisis who have already been fighting the battle since long with utmost positive energy.
