Thalassemia Recovery Journey | Successful Bone Marrow Transplant | Dr. Sunil Bhat

Hello, my name is Parveen Sultana. 
My son's name is Mohammed Atif. When he was 3 months old he started developing a fever and upon checking,   we got to know he has Thalassemia. when he was 3 months old I got to know  he would have a fever, his stomach would burn, the fever would not reduce we me the doctor and upon further checking, we were told he has Thalassemia. The first time we heard about it, we were extremely worried, we were very heartbroken. we got to know every 20 to 35 days he would 
need a blood transfusion. we then went to a blood centre in Patna. The team from Naryana were also there &amp;amp; Dr Sunil Bhatt was running a camp there. All the patients, whoever was there. thier brother, sister, mother, father was matched and his sister was a match. She was a match. We then
 submitted all the relevant paperwork. Sir's team was also there, we were asked to come to Bangalore
for the treatment. We then came to Bangalore. Dr Sunil Sir and his team were very
 helpful and took good care of us.  They worked very hard and his transplant took place.
He is not much better and we are now planning on going back home. Dr Sunil Sir &amp;amp; the whole team at Narayana, I want to sincerely thank as my son today is better &amp;amp; will be able to live a normal life. Whatever worries we has before are now gone, we can be happy &amp;amp; and big thank you to the whole team. Friends, my name is Dr Sunil Bhatt. I am the Head of the Department for Pediatric, 
Oncology, Hemtology &amp;amp; Bone Marrow Transplant  At
Narayana Health City, Bangalore. I am very happy to share Atif's success story with you all. Atif is now a 6 to 7 year old boy, however when he was just a few months old he was diagnosed with Thalessemia which is a major disease. Thalessemia is such a disease, where your blood stops getting created with your bone marrow. and these children would then need 
lifelong blood transfusions For this condition, for this disease, only a bone marrow transplant
 is the only treatment option,  which can permanantly cure a person Fortunately, Atif's sister was a complete match which is 
referred to as a HLA match and we use his sister's blood cells, we transplanted it to Atif in August. He is now free from Thalassemia. now there is no need for any blood transfusion. He is now very healthy. Atif is from Bihar, from a small place.  This family would have to take this little boy every 3 
weeks for a blood transfusion here they faced a lot of difficulties they would not get the blood on time, even the quality of the blood would not be good because of the lack of blood in Atif, an overload of Iron in his body, 
there were even more challenges/difficulties he is now healthy and free from Thalassemia. Through the bone marrow transplant he now completely fine
and like other children he can noe live a full life. So friends, let's all together hope &amp;amp; pray for Atif's long and healthy life and we hope once he grows up, he not only makes
his village and state proud, but his country too.  Thank you, everyone.
