Medical Details
It started in March 2020, where he started having a few episodes of vomiting. The family took him for a consultation session with a general pediatrician in Gulbarga. After undergoing a chest-scan and blood test, he was put under medication; unfortunately this did not give him any relief.
In April 2020, Pankaj began losing his sense of balance while walking. He underwent an MRI-Scan of his brain and a blood test, after going through the report the Doctor asked the family to consult with a neurologist, as there was a tumor present in his brain and it needed to be operated on. The family took him to Shankar hospital in Sholapur for his surgery, after the biopsy report; they confirmed that he is suffering from Posterior Fossa Meningioma – Grade II.
The family was referred to HCG Gulbarga, where the Doctor went through the reports and Pankaj underwent a 2nd biopsy. Post getting the reports, the line of treatment as radiation was confirmed. He underwent 27-fractions and is yet to undergo 3-fractions. After completing radiation, he will be on his regular follow-up consultations.
Update
Pankaj has completed his treatment and is on his regular follow-up consultations.
