Shanmuga Priya - Update

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported me in this intiative to save the life of this little child. 

Today morning I got a call from my uncle and got the shocking news that my niece condition has worsened and  doctors advised not to continue medication as her body cannot bear further treatment. Request you to stop transfering money for her treatment.

Thanks again for all your support and prayers.

Shanmuga Priya - Update

Shanmuga Priya has completed first cycle of Chemotherapy and the second cycle will be started next week. While undergoing chemotherapy, HLA cross matching test will be performed with her sibling and based on the outcome of the results, Bone marrow transplantation will be planned.

In the last two weeks, we approached many our friends for their support and help. Thanks to their overwhelming support, around 4-1/2 Lakhs ($10000) is collected till now.  Seeing the response, we are quite confident that we will be able to mobilize the required fund for her operation.

Shanmuga Priya , 7 years old, is diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) on February 12^th 2010. She was admitted in Kanchi Kamakoti Child Trust Hospital in Chennai. She was started on Induction chemotherapy and then consolidation chemotherapy.  Later on October 2010, she was admitted in the hospital again for persistent fever and after tests it was found that her cancer got relapsed with 29% blast in the peripheral smear. Parents were told about the poor prognosis and a need for bone marrow transplantation. The discharge summary (Details available in Important Links) provides the details of the treatment provided to her chronologically and current prognosis of her condition.

 She is currently admitted in Christian Medical College, Vellore and undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Dr. Biju George, Department of Haematology is treating her and she has been advised to undergo a bone marrow transplantation.

Her parents have already spent 12 Lakhs ($26000) during the treatment at Kanchi Kamakoti Child trust hostpital (Details available in Important Links). The current treatment of chemotherapy is estimated to be 8 Lakhs ($17500) (Details available in Important Links) which she is undergoing now and the bone marrow transplantation is estimated to be around another 10~12 Lakhs ($26000).

The family with great difficulty mobilized fund for her initial treatment at Kanchi Kamakoti Child trust hospital and finding it extremely hard to mobilize funds for her ongoing treatment and looking for support from others.
