REQUIRE
FUNDS FOR TREATMENT TO SURVIVE FROM CANCER
Introduction
My name is Nishmitha
M G. I am 19 years old and currently pursuing engineering from Yenepoya
Institute of Technology, Moodbidri in the branch of Information Science.
I am diagnosed with cancer in February. It started as
a lump below the knee and was recognized as OSTEOSARCOMA, Stage 4. CT (thorax
and bone) and PET CT was done that showed the lump near the knee and few
nodules in the lungs. Biopsy was done that confirmed the diagnosis wherein 2
sessions of chemotherapy before surgery, surgery and 3 sessions of chemotherapy
after surgery is required to be done. I have lost all my hair and have been
spending most of my time in hospitals for tests and treatments. My mother has
taken leave from her job and takes good care of me.

About my
Family:
My Father’s name is M. Gangadhar, he works as a phone mechanic (outdoor work) in BSNL
(Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) , the Government of India telephone Department.
He is suffering from liver problems
and was admitted for the second time in January for treatment which cost us
dearly.
My Mother’s name is Kamala P J, she works as a Staff Nurse in General Government hospital,
Karkala. With my father being in the hospital and my condition she has
struggled a lot managing work, home, and has taken many leaves from her work.
My younger brother’s name is Prashanth M G, he has just completed his 9th standard.
Government Schemes:
Even
though both my parents are Government servants. This is why I am not getting any
support from the Government.
Through my mom:
There is a scheme called Jyothi Sanjeevini but it is for dependents below the
age of 18, and my medicine codes do not come under any scheme available by the
Government.
Through my dad:
There are only selected hospitals that come under any help. And surrounding
hospitals per area. Since I require treatment in various hospitals and there is
only one place that can conduct ortho-oncology surgery this is of no help
either.
About the
Treatment:
Cancer is a very expensive disease. From the initial
tests to the treatment it has been heavy on the pocket. I am currently
undergoing my 2nd session of Chemotherapy in Shirdi Sai Cancer Hospital, Manipal. Diagnostic tests were done to determine my
condition after which 2 sessions of chemotherapy before surgery, surgery and
post-surgery 3 sessions of chemotherapy was suggested. Below is the expense
list till date and estimated overall cost.

no complications surgery will be conducted. If there are complications Doctor

This entire procedure will take about 10months of time
juggling between hospitals, home and Bangalore. The estimated cost along with
