About Kalaiarasan

Kalaiarasan is a 24-year old adult staying with his family; his parents, grandmother and two younger brothers in their own house in Krishnagiri, Tamilnadu. He is final year MBA student, studying at Perumal College, Hosur. His father runs a small-scale vehicle dealership, his mother is a homemaker and his younger brothers are pursuing their degree.

Kalaiarasan, is an active Cricket enthusiast and loves playing cricket with his friends. When not playing his favorite sport, Kalaiarasan spends his time reading and studying. He is also a movie-buff, an ardent follower of the latest movies and enjoys sharing his points of view about them.

Medical Details

In August 2018, Kalaiarasan started feeling a numbness on the left side of his face and a blockage in his left nasal-tract. After consulting an ENT specialist near his home, post examination; the Doctor informed that there was a small flesh-growth in his nose and that he needed to undergo surgery. The family took him to Apollo Hospital, Chennai; for surgery, it was here once he underwent a biopsy that he was diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal-Carcinoma (NPC). The family consulted a Doctor at Manipal Hospital, to get a second opinion, where the cancer was re-confirmed. The family was informed about the line of treatment, post which; he began his treatment at Kumaran Hospital, Chennai. He underwent 7-cycles of chemotherapy and 3-cycles of maintenance chemotherapy along with radiation. After completing his treatment, he has been on his follow-up consultations once every three months and was doing well.

In September 2020, on his follow-up consultation, he underwent a PET-CT Scan, where the report showed the presence of tumor in the same place. The Doctor suggested that he needed to undergo chemotherapy again to control the growth. This time, however; after suggestions from the family they approached HCG Hospital and consulted Dr.Srinivas. After doing the needed tests, Dr.Srinivas has suggested that he needs to undergo 8-cycles of chemotherapy and 5-cycles of immunotherapy.

Parents Speak – Mr.Karuthappan and Mrs.Vijaya :- We had thought that he was completely cured, but when we got to know that the cancer had relapsed, our hearts sank. We have already spent all our savings for his first treatment and now we request you to kindly support us and help raise the amount required. You are our only hope at this moment!

We cannot see our Son suffer once again to cancer and this time we pray and hope that he recovers successfully and is back to his enthusiastic self. We need your help, kindly donate as much as you can; so that we can pay for his treatment.
