Blood cancer - mother of a 6 months old
2nd Aug 2024
Mrs. Kalpana has been a very active volunteer of DoctorNet India for 6 years. She is 37 years old and from a lower socio economic background. She has one son, five months old. She is under treatment for type-1 diabetes since childhood, which later cause kidney malfunction. She underwent kidney transplant 9 years ago.
She has been a very empathetic volunteer guiding several kidney patients in DoctorNet. Being the first active volunteer of DoctorNet, she embodies the values of empathy, love and integrity.
By the end of July 2024, she was diagnosed with Burkitt Lymphoma, a rare type of blood cancer. The biopsy report result received on 2nd Aug confirms the seriousness. The treatment is started at KMCH.
The expenses and severity are high due to additional complications related to kidney and diabetes problems.
