Medical Details

In October 2018, Arpith noticed a small lump near his right knee. The family consulted an orthopaedic near their home, post the tests the X-Ray showed the presence of a small tumour in his knee. The doctor further advised the family to get a CT scan and Blood test done for him. This was the final confirmation on the presence of a tumour and the method of treatment was explained to the family.

Since the family could not afford the cost of treatment, they got Arpith treated for 3-months by an Ayurvedic doctor. However, the treatment had only alleviated the pain and the size of the tumour. Concerned, the family took him in for a second consultation and a scan with an orthopaedic in Mangalore and the results revealed that the tumour had become malignant.

Moving ahead the family was referred to HCG Hospital, Bengaluru; where they consulted Dr.Pramod. After getting the biopsy report Arpith had to undergo 4-cycles of chemotherapy to remove and dissolve any lasting traces of the tumour making sure it does not recur.

The family has gone back to Mangalore where, Arpith is currently going for his physiotherapy sessions under the supervision and consultation of Dr.Pramod's team.
