His Cancer Story
The symptoms started in 2016, and later was diagnosed with stage 4 malignant Cancer. This was a very shocking and devastating news for him and his wife, his daughter was just 5 years old when this new came in.
He was immediately put on Chemotherapy and followed by radiation. As in most cases the insurance would not cover many of the expenses. And as a result, they started losing their entire family savings. He had to undergo multiple rounds of Chemo and radiation treatments which took a sever toll on his body and health.
After 2 years of Chemo and radiation sessions, the cancer just won’t go and he had to look for other alternative’s methods, which lead him to India where he underwent a private clinical trial under a specialized doctor in 2018. This was another major financial back breaker for his family, as this was completely off the insurance radar.
Unfortunately, the trail efforts were not successful, and he continued to suffer the side affects of the medication and financial burden.
Back in US, his cancer just kept growing and one of the infected areas (his spine) started to show bone loss causing severe pain in his back. In 2018 and 2019, he went from pillar to post to find a doctor who would help him to surgically remove the cancerous part in his spine. As luck will have him, he was denied by multiple doctors and hospitals with various reasons. He flew from his base location in Greenville, SC to multiple cities across Texas, North Carolina and nearby hospitals on his own funds, to get this surgery done, and finally he was operated in February of 2019 in Texas. The doc was able to remove the cancerous part from his spine, but the other cancerous organs kept growing larger deteriorating his health even further.
Now, it has come to a stage where he can barely walk and needs continuous help and attention to perform even his basic daily tasks.
What's next
In his desperate attempt, he is going back to India for another clinical trail to try and fight this draconian disease. He is again challenged to fend for his own funds as this is not covered by his insurance.
He will need all our support and prayers to overcome this huge burden.
As a humble request, please support him in this fight!
