About Princy

Princy Khalkho is an 8-year old girl, the only child to her parents Mr.Pradeep Bhagat and Mrs.Basanthi Gara. The family is from Ranchi, Jharkand staying in their own home. Her father works as a security guard and earning a meagre 10,000/- INR a month; while her mother is a cook at a Blind School.

Princy is studying in 3rd STD at Kendriya Vidyalaya, she is an enthusiastic and studious; who is focused on her academics.

Medical Details

When Princy was 6-months old, she had developed a lump in her hip that started growing. Concerned about this development, her parents took her to a Hospital in Ranchi. At the hospital, she underwent a few blood tests and a FNAC test; post-report her parents were informed that there was the presence of cancer-cells and referred them to CMC Hospital, Vellore for further treatment. At CMC Hospital, Vellore; Princy underwent 6-cycles of chemotherapy along with radiation therapy and a surgery to remove the lump. After her surgery, she underwent another 2-cycles of chemotherapy treatment over a year, she responded well to the treatment and was cured. The family then returned to their native, while taking her for a yearly check-up at CMC, Vellore.

Mr.Pradeep and Mrs.Basanthi – We have seen her go through the pain and suffering as a 6-month old baby; as parents it isn't easy to watch your only child fight a battle that she isn't familiar with. Watching her life hang in the balance, each day and night had grown longer for us; we just wanted to get out of this long dark tunnel. Nothing else mattered to us, we just wanted our baby girl to become better and healthy!

Years later, in 2019 on one of her follow-ups; Princy was diagnosed with cancer. The very same spot in her hip, the cancerous-cells had recurred. The family is still paying-off the initial loan amount for her treatment and have exhausted all their savings. Upon their request, they were referred to HCG Hospital, Ranchi; which is closer to the family. She has begun her chemotherapy treatment and is yet to undergo 4-Cycles of chemotherapy and surgery; 2-cycles prior and 2-cycles post her surgery.

A hopeful Pradeep and Basanthi, who had imagined that their daughter was healed; we are re-living our worst nightmares and memories of Princy's initial fight against Cancer as a 6-month old baby. It has been very stressful for us this year financially as we are still clearing the initial loan amount. We are now watching our child go through this suffering again and it is unbearable. Our only hope is that she recovers successfully and lives a beautiful life that is meant for her.

Update

Princy, has completed her treatment and she is on her regular follow-up consultations.
