Why childhood cancer needs support?
Most childhood cancers can be cured with chemotherapy and other forms of treatment, including surgery and radiotherapy. In other words, the majority of children with cancer can be saved. Children are not small adults and they respond well to their tailored therapy. After completion of treatment, majority of children can live a regular life and relive their dreams.
Our previous commitment towards children with cancer:
The legacy of our founder to provide affordable health care to every child irrespective of economic status was the inspiration to treat children ailing from cancer and reaching our doorstep. Ever since the department was set 15 years ago, milestones have been achieved and hundreds of children are leading a normal life having cured of their cancer. More than 1000 children have been treated since then and reflects our vision to achieve cure rates of more than 80%. Not only children less than 18 years of age get treated for cancer at our institute but also adolescent and young adults since a great majority of adolescent and young adult patients with cancer will survive their cancer diagnosis and will constitute a sizable fraction of the community.
Most of the children taking treatment at our hospital are from the lower socio economic strata and are under priviledged / lower middle class.We have children from all over the state and others states too reaching out to us for help to get their little children treated.
Our funded projects for childhood cancer treatment:
The Pediatric Lymphoma project and the Pediatric Solid tumor projects between 2010 and 2017 by the benevolent donation of Shri Lakshminarayan and HDFC bank and SPIC medical foundation supported a more than children for their cancer treatment and we have a survival of 88%. The Ray of Light Foundation supports a few children with cancer. We also receive donations from many NGOs, Lions Club, philanthropists, several charitable foundations, individual donors to help us achieve our monumental goal.
Stories of impact:
“Curing a child with cancer saves a lifetime”
To remain hopeful during cancer treatment is as much an art as it is a skill. And, our little cancer patients and their families do show this on a regular basis. Our patients who study, dance, participate in sports, travel and the resilience they exhibit by drawing on their inner strengths and external supports makes them each a special kid and their journey through treatment of cancer is inspiring.
For A……., cancer is a dim memory.
A….. was just a month old when she was diagnosed with a tumor called Neuroblastoma. The little girl had hardly opened to eyes to see the world and all knew was her mother’s warmth. But unfortunately her abdomen swelled and she was in our neonatal unit for a tumor that caused her to breathe with difficulty. Her parents lost hope looking at the new little one. She needed chemotherapy which she and her parents accepted boldly. Going through treatment had never been easy for her parents. Sure enough, they fought the situation and endured the pain.
4 years after her treatment, today A… walks into the outpatient and speaks of her experiences of entering a school and her friends.
Yes, cancer is part of her story, but it is only a small part and has she has a beautiful life to look ahead for achievements.
M…… is back home in their native village down south Tamilnadu, with his brother and younger sister after receiving treatment for his cancer at our hospital. A year back they reached our doorstep with loss of hope and broken-heartedness on hearing the word cancer.
M….. was diagnosed with Burkitts lymphoma, a cancer in children which is highly curable with treatment at the appropriate time. At our hospital, he received chemotherapy for 1 year. One cannot miss his talks in the oncology ward which was inspiring and friendly to all those around. Now after successfully completing his therapy, he returned home and returns to us for regular checkups.
