फोर्टिस मेडिकल सेंटर, कोलकाता

Sonia Bajaj is nearly 16 years old and studying in 11th grade. She once complained of severe headaches and other symptoms that marked the beginning of her unhealthy life. She received consultation from one of the nearby doctors. The doctor asked for the blood tests and got the tests done within a few days. After receiving the tests, the doctor came to know that nothing was wrong with the reports of the child. After a month, Sonia started receiving similar symptoms. This time the family went for help to the Fortis Medical Centre.

How did Sonia receive help?

• Sonia, who had her tests completed within a day, got relaxed with the facilities of the Fortis Medical Centre. Her parents were consoled that everything would be right with the child and that the child will receive the best possible help.

• With the help of a few blood tests and a CT scan, it was detected that Sonia was going through a fist-sized brain tumor.

• It was shocking for the parents and the doctors both as they questioned her survival and being detected with a brain tumor at such a young age.

• The parents of Sonia who became conscious of her health, did everything to let their daughter receive the best medical help.

• Within the presence of the dietician, neurologist, and cancer doctors, Sonia received her chemotherapy for the tumor.

• She had her small session of surgery which had the doctors make an incision on her forehead and remove the tumor.

• After a stay in the hospital for nearly 5 days, Sonia had her surgery done successfully and her recovery time done in the hospital. 

Although Sonia had to repeat her educational practices in the same grade for another year, she had her therapies done with the successful removal of the tumor. She is now happy to receive the help and kind patience from the side of doctors. She is still studying in 11th grade but this time, she is hoping to receive the highest scores.
