Mouth Cancer Chemo Treatment

Donation protected

I am Ajay Sunker. In 2018, my dear friend, Pastor Jayanth Lal, was diagnosed with mouth cancer. He demonstrated remarkable courage in battling the illness over the years, and thankfully, it went into remission. Unfortunately, in early 2024, the cancer has returned. In light of this, I have initiated this GoFundMe campaign on his behalf. I implore those who come across this to keep him in their prayers and to consider offering financial support.

Here is his story:

My name is Jayant Lal, and I'm reaching out to you with a heart heavy with the weight of my journey battling carcinoma tongue cancer. This journey began back in September 2018, a journey that has been filled with both triumphs and setbacks, but through it all, I've clung to hope with unwavering determination.

From the moment of diagnosis, my quest for healing took me to different places, searching for the best treatments. Finally, in Delhi, I found solace in the expertise of a remarkable surgical team led by Dr. Dr. Ankur Bhel Medical Oncologist - Fortis Gurgaon. With their guidance, I underwent chemotherapy and a life-altering surgery in December 2018 to remove the cancerous growth. However, the battle was far from over.

During the surgery, unexpected complications arose. The cancer had stealthily spread to my bones, necessitating the removal of my left lower mandible. Despite the hardships of recovery, I persevered, aided by countless physiotherapy sessions and the unwavering support of loved ones.

For five years, I fought valiantly, until last year when unforeseen health challenges emerged. First, a heart blockage demanded immediate attention, delaying the reconstruction surgery for my jawbone. Then, early this year, the specter of cancer reappeared, this time affecting the remaining teeth on the right side of my buccal cavity, a cruel consequence of past radiation therapy.

As I write this plea in April 2024, I find myself once again in the throes of aggressive chemotherapy. The next step in my battle against this relentless foe is a surgery to remove my right lower mandible, where the cancer has taken hold, threatening my very ability to live a normal life.

The road ahead is daunting, both emotionally and financially. The reconstruction surgery is crucial not only for restoring my ability to eat and speak but also for reclaiming a sense of normalcy and dignity in my daily life.

This is where I humbly seek your support. Every contribution, no matter how small, will bring me one step closer to reclaiming my smile, my voice, and my life. Together, we can turn the tide against this insidious disease and usher in a brighter, healthier future.

Thank you from the depths of my heart for your kindness, compassion, and generosity.

With profound gratitude,

Jayant Lal
