Parijat Mitra: In the first chapter, the symptoms of the disease were detected. After countless tests, it was decided how to deal with it and of course, to be mentally prepared. Another very important thing in this regard is to choose the right place for treatment and be prepared for the huge financial costs. However, there is no hesitation in saying that my club has extended its support in all respects.
The second chapter is to operate as soon as possible. Although the Tata Hospital in Kolkata had arranged everything, they could not give the date of the operation before the second week of October. However, they said that the oral cancer has now occupied half of the tongue and has also spread to a large part of the jaw and throat. As time goes by, it may even engulf the chest. Therefore, they also advise to do it quickly if there is an opportunity in another hospital. In this regard, the club also took responsibility for everything as soon as possible. On their initiative, the operation was successfully performed on the 9th at Manipal Hospital in Mukundapur. The first stage of this operation, which lasted more than 9 hours, was to remove all the affected parts. is given. In the second stage, flesh, skin, and blood vessels are cut from the hands and feet and filled in those places. After that, I was kept in the hospital for six days and released, for the fight of the third chapter.
The physical changes of the third chapter are quite a lot. Taking liquid food through a tube through the nose, breathing through a thick tube stuck in the throat. The larynx is closed for the time being. According to the doctor, this chapter is the most important. Where if you have your willpower, fight and follow specific rules, you will be able to enter the fight of the fourth chapter very soon. For this, first of all, a shelter was needed, which would be close to the hospital and a skilled nurse to take care of it day and night for 3-4 weeks. Sanjeev Acharya from the club also arranged that, by making his Santoshpur flat a temporary hospital. For now, I am continuing the fight of the third chapter there. Which will continue for another month. Along with going to the hospital every week to take the doctor's advice. If I win this fight with everyone's blessings, I am waiting for ray or chemo in the fourth chapter.
I don't know how long this journey is. The ups and downs of the struggle are deeply etched around my face. Cuts, stitches, bandages in various places..absolutely horrible condition. At times, it is difficult to recognize myself. However, I took a smiling picture in the afternoon before the surgery at Manipal Hospital in Mukundapur, which I have attached. I believe that after going through all the stages of the struggle, I will be able to take pictures with a smiling face like this again.
