Dear Friends, I have a very urgent and special request. I would really appreciate it if all of you could spare a little time for prayer. My niece, Ms Neethi George, a vibrant, chirpy and extremely innocent 17 year old, has been diagnosed to have a very serious and most aggressive form of cancer termed as Glioblastoma multiformis( Astrocytoma stage 4). Neethi is my elder sister Dr. Valsala George and my brother in law Dr. George Oommen's (Rajan) second child and only daughter. Neethi passed her 12th standard exams results which came out on the 5th of May scoring over 90% marks and was hoping to get into medical college (The entrance test for the Medical colleges was on the 14th of May and the entrance test for CMC Vellore was on the 15th of May and on this day she underwent the bone biopsy)and become a doctor when her whole life came crashing down. She was a normal, healthy child a month ago when on the 20th she felt dizzy and felt weak in one leg and when a MRI was done we were shocked to find a huge tumour in her spinal cord (D4 to D10) and some suspicious lesions in the cervical region too. She was immediately taken to one of the most prestigious medical colleges in India , The CHRISTIAN MEDICAL COLLEGE VELLORE in Tamilnadu and admitted on the 24th of April. A biopsy was done and her condition was only then diagnosed. After the biopsy was done on the spinal cord she became a paraplegic ( Paralysis of the lower limbs) from which she is now slowly recovering. Doctors have now given up hope and have said that it is beyond their help as the cancer has spread everywhere. The cancer has spread beyond and even Radiation and Chemotherapy will not help. Only a miracle can now save her. I firmly believe in God almighty and the power of prayer and that's the request I have for all of you. Please pray for Neethi George that she may recover completely by God's Grace and Mercy and be healed and become a testimony for Gods Mercy and if God wills become normal once more and go on to become a doctor. Miracles do happen and I am sure that with all of you praying for Neethi she would recover completely. Neethi meanwhile still does not know that her condition is malignant. The doctors have just given her 6months to 1 year of life and she now has also started getting seizures and splitting headaches and has to be put on a daily dose of Morphine, She is also being administered oral chemotherapy mainly as a palliative measure. PLEASE PRAY FOR GODS MERCY TO BE ON NEETHI GEORGE AND PRAY FOR HER PARENTS TOO. ALSO PLEASE PRAY AND ALSO PUT THIS REQUEST AMONG OTHER PRAYER GROUPS AND ALSO PLEASE FORWARD IT TO ALL YOUR PRAYER WARRIORS. Thank you, For Thomas George Jelin Jacob
