вι¢ннσσвαвα Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hey Guys, Here is my situation. last time u heard abt my mother that the treatment money was arranged as i had taken loan from my work place and that is true. The Doctor had asked my mother to take 6 Chemo Therapy injections and the cost of each injection was 8K. Mom was staying in Chennai along with my brother and he was taking her for the chemo therapy treatment. After the 3rd chemo therapy injection on May 2nd, immediately the next day she developed respiratory problem and could not breathe. Mom was immediately rushed to the hospital where she was undergoing the chemo therapy in a very critical condition. Her pulse had gone down to 35 in place of 70-80. They somehow managed to bring the pulse back to normal. The Doctor said that if we had delayed bringing her to the Hospital by 10 minutes she would not have survived.We shifted her to Chennai Meenakshi hospital where proper treatment for the respiratory can be given and she was admitted there for abt 3 days in the ICU and 4th day was shifted to general ward after which she got discharged and i had to spend the remaining money to clear the Hospital Bill that i had as a loan from my work place. The doctor there told that due to her inhaling some acid in the Lungs which was released due to the chemo therapy this complication had occurred and suggested tht the dosage to be changed. so i decided to bring her to Bangalore with me so that some body at my house will always be there to take care of her. We were referred to M S Ramaiah Hospital in Bangalore by that Doctor who was treating my mom in Chennai. Long Story short. Now 3 injections are remaining and each has been split into 3 injections to reduce the side effects and complication(Each Dose 20MG) which comes to 9 Chemo therapy injections and each injection has to been given each week for 9 weeks. The cost of 1 chemo therapy session now is 10K including the Bed charges and blood Test which has to be done before every chemo therapy session. so far i managed to arrange money for 2 injections by pledging some Gold jewels of mine and am unable to arrange money(70K) for rest of the Treatment and after this my Mom has to undergo Radiation and which will cost 46K. Totally 1,16,000 is required. I have all the records for the previous treatment taken in Chennai and the Present treatment that's continuing in Bangalore. PS: I am not expecting any funds from anybody for the treatment as its a huge amount . I Would appreciate if some body refers us to any NGO or any person with whom u might have any connection or contact with who can help us out as i cannot addord the treatment. I was planning to sell my PS3 but that would hardly fetch me around 18-20K and that would not serve the purpose. ******************************************************************************** ********************************************************************* Here's the reply i received from the CPAA org fromShubha Maudgal <shubha.maudgal@cpaaindia.org>tokarthik.mkc@gmail.com dateMon, Jun 29, 2009 at 12:30 PMsubjectRe: Contact Usmailed-bycpaaindia.orgsigned-bycpaaindia.org hide details 12:30 PM (11 hours ago) Reply Unfortunately we are unable to provide financial help to out station patients.

HundredProofSam Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hey Kartik, Sorry to hear about your mom. I spoke to my parents (they're doctors) about NGOs etc and they said that there are many NGOs to help cancer patients and while they mostly cater to those below the poverty line, if you narrate your story like you've done here and in your earlier thread, you shouldn't have any trouble getting someone to bear the expenses. My sister's friend works for an international NGO that does such work here in Mumbai. I'll try and get in touch with her to see if anything like this is possible in Bangalore/Chennai peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also take a doctor's reference with you when you go there. Thanks for the info Kartik, but the problem is that she cannot be shifting from one hospital to the other as the Hospitals dont allow this. And in the situation that i am in i can't afford to take Mom to Mumbai from Bangalore and stay there until the treatment is done as the treatment will take abt 2.1/2 moths to complete. i will try a bit from my end, when i come back to india, but cant guarantee anything, i am not in touch with most of the guys, but i'll try my best. Thanks bro. will hope for the best.

Yeah i was thinking on the same terms too.....start a contribution thread or something, 100 members donating 1k each would solve your probs. Easier said than done but we can atleast make a start.
