Srininvas - Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma - cancer

Regular · Medical · Completed · Raised $1,030

This is help request for Srinivas, who is 43-years-old and is diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in Feb 2018.Initially the symptoms started with tooth, then to Brain. After series of scans and tests the cancer was confirmed. It was devastating news for whole family. Lymphoma- NHL is considered to be one of the deadliest cancer which spreads rapidly, as lymph nodes exist in whole human body. Doctors gave us very little hope, only if treatment begins immediately and is estimated to 10lakhs/$15,000 USD.

When he was diagnosed, he was going through financial turmoil. So the with the help of friends and family, they managed the required funds (10lakhs/$15,000 USD) and provided him the treatment. He has undergone 4 chemos and had lot of side effects. He responded to treatment really good and became stable, after 3 months of intensive care/treatment.

Unfortunately, In April 2019, the cancer has relapsed. In PET scan, it showed that cancer has spread to liver. The doctors said the treatment requires both chemo and blood transplant and estimated cost is 25lakhs/$35,000 USD. This time, family's financial ability to support his treatment substantially got reduced. As a final hope, they are trying to get all financial aid, so he can fight this deadly cancer again and get united with his family. At the moment he is sheltered at his relative's houses. He has a daughter- doing 1st year BTech and son in 9th standard. It is very tragic that this happened to him as he is non-smoker, non-alcoholic and a vegetarian. He is very cheerful and has a reputation for helping many people in his walk of life. Kindly requesting helpsavelife members to provide as much help as we can to give him and his family a hope to fight this cancer. The whole family will be indebted for any help we can provide.
