Hello!
 This is my third blog on Journey With Cancer. After this I will share on Treatment options available Good Hospitals, treatment costs, foods for fighting with cancer, palliative care and more which I can.

" It was June 7^th, when I meet Abhishek. When I saw him, my heart was in my mouth. He was looking too ill, thin and energy less. But My presence made him happy. First of all I told him about medicine and showed all the medicine t. After lunch he took first dose of medicine. And Yes, It is true. Medicine showed its effects from 1^st dose. He starts recovering from cough. Initially he was not able to sleep via right portion. Now he can, after 2 days of medicine dose.

                                                        In between this I was trying to get the tickets of Vellore. As you know how much it is difficult to get Train tickets. Anyway through an agent we managed tickets and went to CMC Vellore.  Appointment was on next day after we reached there. First day meeting with doctor was very disappointing. Doctors were very negative on their opinion. Anyway they wrote some examination to be done and asked to take next appointment after 3 days. We came back to hotel after paying for MRI and other examinations. I forgot to mention Abhishek had moderate ascites (fluid in lungs and abdominal). It is very bad sign in the case of cancer. He was not able to walk properly. Fluids are increasing day by day. His abdominal looks like bowel. After 3 days reports came. Reports were not good. There were 3 tumors this time and all of them are big in size, average 8-10cm. But there was no tumor in brain. It was first good thing we heard after lot of time. We meet to doctor on scheduled date and again they decided to have some more check-ups to be done. In between this, Dr. Patricia, an oncologist who treated Abhishek’s brain tumor in 2012, came to back after her vacation. As usual, she again motivated us, and starts treatment for ascites immediately. Around 2 liters of fluid drained from abdominal. In between these days Abhishek was taking medicine of D.S research center. It took around 25 days for all check-up to be done. Doctors decided to have four cycles of Chemotherapy. In these 25 days, there was lots of improvement in Abhishek health condition. His Ascites has almost gone. No cough was there. He also started having good meal. This helped him during chemotherapy, as chemotherapy is very painful and requires good physical health condition. And he finished his first cycle of chemotherapy on 10^th of July. It was 11^th of July, he came back to hotel. And there was something more special that day. Abhishek’s HAPPY BIRTHDAY is on 11^th of July.

                                                         His friends are continuously calling him. Because of weakness he was not able to talk to many of them. He was sleeping most of the time. I would like to say thanks to all of you.. This line is especially for his friends: “It would not be the same without your supports and prayers. You made him to feel good. He remembers all of you every day. Be with him always. He is blessed with friends like you. Your supports ease his journey and motivated him too”

We moved towards home on 12^th July. And this time I was not afraid with negative thoughts. Abhishek’s was really doing well. I was surprised to know that he has no fear of cancer. He told me that, he will get cured again. And I replied to myself, Yes Abhishek, you will. God can’t be so bad to you."
