My 6-year-old son Anand has been in the hospital, kilometres away from home, since July 4, 2017. Anand was diagnosed with a condition called ‘Recurrent Anaplastic Brainstem Ependymoma’ in 2014. Since his diagnosis, his brain has shown presence of tumours three times, shattering our world each time. He has received a total of 45 cycles of radiotherapy as a part of his treatment so far. While these cycles didn’t destroy the tumour, they’ve relieved him a little. For a year, every door of hope was closed for me as all doctors in India had given me an unfaltering explanation of how no surgery could cure Anand’s condition. His only option was receiving continuous radiotherapy for a couple of months. It left us with no hope. Reducing his sufferings is the least a father can do so I focussed all my energy on ensuring Anand gets the best support and care from everyone around him. |
