    This fundraiser will benefit

    child of Faizaan Ahmed Khan

    from Amravati, Maharashtra

Hi,
My name is Faizaan Ahmed Khan, and I'm raising funds for my 12 year old cousin 'Tahoora Fatema' who is suffering from 'Ewings Sarcoma' and is currently undergoing treatment at Hyderabad.

Baby Tahoora Fatima is a resident of Amravati, Maharashtra. She is the eldest of 3 siblings and 12 yrs old.

First time in Oct 2020, the family noticed a small knot/solid formation in the calf muscle of the right leg and was taken to a general physician. The physician prescribed some ointments and also cold compressions, this treatment was continued for a month but there was no change. Later the family also consulted an orthopedic and after doing proper examination along with an X-ray, MRI of the leg it was suspected that the knot is cancerous and a sample was sent for biopsy for confirmation. All of these initial investigations were done in Amravati, Maharashtra.

The family then came to Hyderabad for better treatment and medical advice from other cancer specialists. Once again all the tests and initial examinations were repeated and it was confirmed that Tahoora is suffering from Ewing's Sarcoma. Later a PET scan was also done and it was confirmed that there is a slight spot in her lungs. The treatment was initiated in "TX Hospital, Kachiguda (HYD)" and as per the doctor's suggestions, chemotherapy was initiated. After undergoing 6 chemo sessions, the doctor suggested another PET scan and biopsy to determine the severity of the tumor. After checking all the recent reports and biopsy, the doctors and surgeon at TX Hospital suggested that they may have to amputate the leg below the knee to save the child's life. Since this is a very serious and life altering decision, the family wanted another opinion and consulted another group of cancer specialists including  Ortho Oncologist surgeons at "Omega Hospital, Banjara Hills (HYD)". The doctors at Omega hospitals have put the amputation on hold and suggested the family to continue another set of 11 chemotherapy sessions along with radiation therapy. Hence, further treatment will be continued at Omega Hospital (HYD).

The treatment up until this point has taken around 5 lakhs including all chemo, tests, scans etc. The further estimate of the treatment as informed by the doctors can go up to 25 Lacs.

We are waiting for the latest Biopsy reports, post which the doctor at Omega Hospital (HYD) will provide an exact estimate of the further complete treatment.

As the amount is very huge, we request you to kindly contribute towards the treatment and help during this time of need. Each contribution is important!

Please help in raising this amount at the earliest, by donating and sharing this with your friends and family, so that it reaches larger audience.



We are grateful for your help and wishes.

Thank you,
