This 4-year-old boy is battling a rare form of cancer and needs your help

Written by : TNM Staff

Saisaran is just 3 years and 10 months old, and has barely seen what the world has to offer to him. He suffers from Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer which costs a huge sum of money for its treatment. His family cannot afford to pay such a huge amount. They are seeking maximum help from all possible avenues that are available to them.

Saisaran is a highly active child who is very enthusiastic as well. He loves to draw and play. He has been with his family right from the beginning and is their only source of happiness. 

He has been diagnosed with a right para meningeal rhabdomyosarcoma with extension to middle ear and petrous apex on high risk. For the past seven weeks, he has been undergoing chemotherapy and he is now admitted for surgical therapy. MRI of the brain with contrast was done on December 14, 2018. Since October 25, 2018, there is internal regression of Rhabdomyosarcoma involving right ear and petrous apex suggesting good response to the treatment.

While the operation has been done, doctors have said that post-operation treatment is necessary in order to get the problem completely cured.

The doctors have advised that proton therapy needs to be done for the betterment of Saisaran’s health. The cost of proton therapy is around Rs 20 to 25 lakh. However, his parents are not financially well-off to arrange for the money.
