Brave Ronil
My friend and colleague, Milan Mehta, has been working with me at PlayStation for 11 years. His then 12 year old healthy son Ronil was diagnosed in January 2016 with a very rare and aggressive form of Brain Cancer called DIPG that particularly targets only children. DIPG is inoperable and there is no cure. The prognosis for recovery is less than 1% and life expectancy is about 9 months from diagnosis.
Ronil has surprised doctors by his ability to fight this awful cancer when he was given only days to live. He has made it bravely through 2 strokes, a stroke-induced coma, radiation and brain surgery. When he came out of the coma, he could do nothing but blink his eyes. Ronnie worked very hard in extensive therapy and astonished everyone by regaining abilities like walking, talking and eating. This helped him create many precious memories with family and friends especially his parents and younger brother, Sahil.
The doctors in US have let Milan and his wife Manisha know that they have done all they can for Ronil and that his time is running out fast. In researching alternative options, Milan’s family were made aware of a treatment that could buy more time for Ronil. This treatment, Intra-Arterial Chemotherapy with Immunotherapy, is not yet available in the US, so the family is pursuing this option at a medical facility in Monterrey, Mexico since May, 2017.
This procedure is costing them around $20,000 for each treatment every month out of pocket and will continue for several months until his tumor is stable or in remission. Medical insurance will not pay for any of these treatments. Let them know they are not alone in this fight and help raise awareness for Childhood Cancer.
