Suraj Gowda is a resident of Bangalore and is around 10 years old. He had to go through intense repair and treatment that took around three years. First, he was adopted by the Bangalore family after he went through all hurdles and immigrated from China because he lost his parents. The Gowda family in Bangalore had no child, so they adopted the charming boy Suraj and decided to keep the child with them. During that time, Suraj was going through a disease called neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)- which affects nearly 25,00 to 4,000 people in India every year. Suraj’s adoptive mother named Kanta was a nurse during the time and she knew that her adoptive child needed special care to be treated under the guidance of a doctor and specialists.

How did Surja receive help?

• Suraj’s mother named Kanta went to the Fortis La Femme Bangalore through the medium of Credihealth with her child.

• Since it was the case of a tumor, she wanted to know whether the tumor will affect the body or not or whether it will spread in the future or not.

• The oncology specialists of Fortis La Femme Bangalore first tried their trial and error method and helped the 10 years Suraj to go through a course of medication. He was given a MEK inhibitor that is largely known to react against cancer and its many types.

• Suraj was having a tumor on the skin on his left optic and one of his head. It was becoming difficult for him to adopt the use of heavy drugs as he was declining in terms of health.

But, soon the trial and error method worked for Suraj, the tumor on the head started decreasing its growth. It was a positive sign of initial treatment. Now, the cosmetic surgeon and the oncology specialists could work together to remove the tumor from his skin. It was the most difficult time for the family facing psychological issues, financial issues, and even health issues. Although Suraj is now left with only one tumor on his left optic, he is now 13 years old and has developed the dream of becoming a doctor after receiving inspiration from the specialists of Fortis La Femme Bangalore.
