Donate to save Shreeyam. Your help can save a beautiful soul

Hello Kind Souls, I am Shreeya Adhikari currently living in England. It feels like yesterday I left my brother back home in Nepal in October 2021 but for two and half years my heart wrenched to see you go through all this unbearable pain in my absence. Today, I am here to share the heartbreaking journey of my baby brother Shreeyam Adhikari.

Shreeyam is a very creative and loving 16-year-old. He is an outdoor person who could not contemplate the idea of not living an active life. However, he is saving up all the energy to fight against this battle and taking full bed rest now. Let’s unite together to help this beautiful young soul and make him feel he is not alone in this. Your donation no matter how small, every little bit counts. Your small donation can make a big difference in my one and only brother Shreeyam’s and my family's lives.

Right two months after I flew to England, my parent shared the devastating news with me that my brother had been diagnosed with an Ependymoma (WHO grade III) in the right frontal part of the brain with a malignant lesion in December 2021. He was then admitted to Bir Hospital in Nepal and he underwent his first surgery where doctors were able to remove the partial tumor in February 2022. Although the surgery was successful at that time and he was recovering slowly his tumor which was partially removed in the first place became more aggressive over time and within the next 16 months he was again diagnosed with a High-Grade Glial Tumor (WHO grade IV) which is advanced cancer (High-grade Glioma). He was then immediately operated on with a right front-parietal-temporal craniotomy at Marengo Asia Hospital, Haryana, India in June 2023. By the grace of god, doctors’ commitment, love and prayers from the loved ones the surgery was successful and doctors were able to remove the tumor fully.

But things didn't stop there, we were so happy that everything worked out in our favour this time. My brother was recovering slowly though doctors told us it might recur or might be seen in the spinal cord later in future, he was back to his normal routine though he was not able to go to school because of his 6 cycles of oral chemotherapy which made him sick. Unfortunately, the doctors' plan didn’t go as they expected for the treatment. On September 2023 he was again diagnosed with leptomeningeal enhancement (tumor) in D1 level of the spinal cord. This tumor was slow growing so the doctor kept him under medication and observed it for the next three months. In the last three months, he has been diagnosed with two different tumors in two different levels of the spinal cord which are C7 and S1. Among these, the one in the S1 level is very aggressive and all three need immediate removal and further treatment.

My brother has a thread of hope and self-belief he can fight against this battle but we as a family are failing to meet his medical expenses as the treatment is extravagant. We as a family already invested all we have for the cost of his previous multiple surgeries. We are now compelled to seek your help to ease the financial burden and help my brother fight against this disease at this young age.

As Nepal doesn’t reach the high level of technology as India, we have been continuing his treatment in India and have seen his health improve a lot better for such complicated case. The fund we are raising now will be utilize for his multiple surgeries of the spinal cord and further treatment such as medication,radiation therapy, target therapy. As he has got history of recuring high grade glioma in brain which have chances of growing back again, we should be aware and prepared of that in advance. Moreover it will be used for the living cost of Shreeyam’s including his parents in India.

We used all the resources we had for his treatment but is not enough to get him cured from this life threatening tumor. We are forced to seek help from all the people who are eager to help people, save lives and make difference in a person’s life.
