Cyberknife

Got a phone call and it was my uncle in law. He said that he would reach the airport by 17:50. I changed my dress and rushed off to the airport. That's how the world of Cyberknife had originated in my life.

What is a Cyberknife: According to Wikipedia - The CyberKnife is a frameless robotic radiosurgery system. It is used to treat a tumor in any part of a human body without having to cut any of the tissues. It kills the tumor cells and turns them into dead cell, thus control the multiplication of the cancel cells. It's the most recent technology used to treat cancer patients. As of yet, there are only two hospitals in India where the Cyberknife treatment can be done - Apollo Hospital (Chennai) and Global Health Care (Bangalore).

My uncle has a liver cancer. He had taken Chemotherapy treatment in CMC Vellore and was advised to take Serafinip (Spelling may not be correct) tablet there after. The tablet costs approximately 3 Lacs and is meant to control the growth of the cancer tumor and not to remove the existing tumor.

Spending 3 lacs without curing the existing tumor is worthless, he thought. He decided to have a closer study about Cyberknife and finally decided to undergo the treatment in Apollo Hospital (Chennai) once he was totally aware of how it works.

To start with, the have performed all the necessary diagnosis such as MRI scan, PET CT Scan and CT Scan. Once all these were over, they fixed fiducials in his liver. It's a small metal and they fixed 3 fiducials nearby the tumor. The purpose of placing fiducials is to have the most accurate exposure of the radiation only to the tumor area in the liver. When the patient lie down, the ray from the Cyberknife passed through the body and focus on the liver. The liver moves up and down with the patient's breathing so the radiation falls on the normal tissues as well, causing damage to it. To prevent this, fiducials are placed in the liver so that the ray will find the tumor spot even with the movement of the liver.

Once the fiducial placement was done, he was advised to take rest for a week. After a week, he was supposed to undergo the real Cyberknife treatment. The preparation could take 1 to 2 weeks depending on the condition of the patient.

After a week, we went to the Hospital and started the Cyberknife treatment. All the scan results and findings were loaded into the Cyberknife system. With that, the system did the operation automatically and exposed the radiation to the necessary areas.

He was asked to lie down under the machine and was advised not to take a deep breath until the treatment was over. He wore a black shirt and they fit some cables (don't know what all these stuffs were) over the chest. Everybody left the operation room and the movement of the robot (Cyberknife) was being monitored from the next room.

The operation normally took an hour. The way the patient breaths matters a lot in terms of how accurate and successful the operation has been done and of course the duration. If the patient regularly takes a heavy breath, it could take 2 to 3 hours to complete the operation.

The same process was continued for 5 days. With that, we completed the treatment and was advised to have a follow-up checkup after 2 months. He was very satisfied with the operation, so were the Doctors. They had a high expectation over the treatment and mentioned that he has a high chance to recover, though they could not make any promise since they are all human beings and not God.

Cyberknife treatment costs 4 to 4.5 lacs approximately. The whole process needs at least 3 weeks and depending on the patience condition, it could even take a longer time.

Here are some of the pictures I have taken in the hospital:









On a more personal note, while everyone was satisfied with the treatment, I think some of the staffs in Apollo Hospital need to learn a lot in terms of Hospitality. When they ask people to wait for anything, I feel they should let them know what they are waiting for. I really don't think it was worth paying 4 lacs in order to have someone yelling at us.

Feedback from the Patient:
I am very satisfied with the overall treatment and would like to thank the Cyberknife team at Apollo Hospital. I think they've done a great job and have high expectation that my result would be positive. I am, though, unable to comment further on the actual result since I am yet to know it as I go.

While everyone can't afford to take the treatment of Cyberknife technology, I have written this in the interest of showing a way to people who has no idea as to what a Cyberknife is. Hope it helps them to find the right solution for their problem. On a more personal level, I would like to add if the government could install at least one machine in Mizoram (while this may take years of years), it will be a great achievement and blessings for all the cancer patients.

Whatever

It's been ages since I have updated my Blog. I struggled a lot to simply edit even the page element. Those many days have gone!

Wow! Here's what happened :)

I went home on June 3. The highest temperature the climate could achieve and it was HOT enough to boil everything alive. A man had to go through this pain in order to achieve something in his life!

Well, here's what actually had happened:

Pagan Priestess

She's screaming at night
Like a devil's roar
She's roaming in the street
Like a lunatic witch
People tried to stop her
From the way she's walking
But she won't stop
Coz she's a Pagan Priestess

She's cursing Jesus
Like a Satan worshiper
She's heading towards hell
Like there's no savior
People tried to stop her
From the way to hell
But she won't stop
Coz she's a Pagan Priestess

She's dying slowly
Like there's no more strength
She's lying on her bed
Like there's no more life
People tried to save her
From eternal death
But she won't turn back
Coz she's a Pagan Priestess

We may not scream like a witch
We may not curse Jesus
But if we don't find His will
And if we keep on moving
Like there's no Heaven
We make no difference
Yet we all become
Pagan Priests and Priestesses

My Recent Top 3 Movies

I'm not a movie freak but I enjoy watching movies, basically depends on my mood. I prefer drama kind of, slow and cool rather than action movies. Of course I love actions as well, but not up to the level of how much I love dramas.

I could say I was influenced by my partner because I did not enjoy watching movies before, as much as I do these days. Of late, I watched a couple of interesting movies, which I have highly rated based on how much I enjoy them. C'mon..see these:

3. Ninja Assassin: Don't say this is an action because I know. We all know Rain. Yes he was kind of girlish (she she ..don't know the spelling excuse me)in Full house, a Korean serial. That definitely made him a good actor because in Ninja Assassin, he proved that he was not that gay as we thought. I mean, you will not believe that he was acting in Full House. Am I over reacting?



I couldn't believe that this guy is an assassinator of Ninjas but it's true. See this-



I found the actions so real, especially at the beginning. Cutting human flesh, bones and head with their sharp samurai are worth to watch.

2. Law Abiding Citizen: If you love tactical moves, this is it -- I mean how brilliant this guy is. His wife and daughter were murdered during a home invasion. When the killers were caught, Nick (a black guy) was assigned to the case but he was forced by his boss to offer one of the suspects a light sentence in exchange for testifying against his accomplice. This guy, Clyde (the tactical man) wanted to fix the imperfect justice system and planned everything within ten years. Find out what his plans were.

I don't like the ending, though-- Sad. If I were the director, I would have made him blow off everything. Cheers!



1. Hachiko: A Dog's Story: This is what I'm talking about -- slow and cool. No actions, but a lot of emotional and touching scenes. Richard Gere (Parker), a professor met a young dog (puppy right!) in the train station and they got to know more of each other. See what happened to the Dog when Parker left him to be alone. A sad and touching story but worth to watch. Be ready with something to wipe your tears before you sit down to watch the movie.



That's it--you're done!

When I Ran Away

I hate to mention this and when I think about it all over again, I had no idea as to how that happened. How could I ever had that courage to run away from a deep forest. But this I know, I'd never let that happen again.

It was in 1995 and I was only 12 years old. We did some kind of nursery planting and I remember the place called Rubber Board where we had spent most of our time. It's on the way to Bairabi, where the government had planted a lot of rubber trees. I was with mom there so I had no intention to go home.

One thing I remember when I was a kid; I couldn't stay away from mom even for a day. I wanted to stay with her all the time except when I was playing with my friends. I felt that my world was complete when mom was around.

We stayed there almost for a week doing the planting. One evening we had 2 of my uncles, grandpa, grandma and some of my cousins visit us when they were on the way to the fish farm. They came with generator, tape recorder and tons of food since they planned to stay there at least for a week. I thought it would be fun to join them rather than doing planting all day long. So, we headed towards the lake at Saihapui, where a few Tuikuk people lived.

The main reason why we had this event if I remember correctly was that aunt passed away and everyone was completely devastated by this loss. With a hope that it might relief the feeling, they planned to stay for a couple of weeks in the fish farm, having some kind of a picnic stuff there.

We reached the farm in the evening and I was kind of happy at the beginning. However, when it started to become dark at night, I started to think about mom. She was alone in the nursery farm and she would need company, I thought. I really wanted to be with her rather than being in the fish farm. I couldn't even sleep at night, always thinking about mom.

I got up by 4 in the morning and saw grandma (RIP) doing the fireworks. "How far is Rubber Board from here?" I asked. I no longer remember how she answered me, though. Everyone else was sleeping so I thought it would be a good chance to run towards mom. I told grandma that I was going to pee. Instead, I started running towards Rubber Board which was almost 12 Kms away from the fish farm. I had no idea as to where all those courages came from, letting me go through all the thick and deep forest.

As I started to run, I had a company which was nothing but a heavy rain. I prayed all the way and continued to run towards my target. I was completely drenched but I did not want to give up. I did not see anybody on the way but all I heard was the sound of animals hooding and the rain pouring down, without noticing somebody had to make his journey towards mom.

Finally, I reached my destiny and met mom gladly. It was not a happy moment as I thought it would be, though. When I did not return to the hut, grandma thought I was taken by some animals. When it started to rain, she woke up the other folks and they all started looking for me in the jungle under the heavy rain. When they couldn't find me, grandma told them that she had an instinct that I might be running to mom because I asked her how far the place was.

I'd rather not mention what happened when these people returned home. I did not even want to think about it :) One thing I remember, though, was that I wanted to be stronger and promised that I would be okay without mom if I need to be away from her. I felt very sorry about the event and wouldn't let that happen again. Never.

Types of Marriage

To the best of my knowledge, there are 3 types of marriage which are-

1. Arranged Marriage
2. Love Marriage
3. Lou Marriage

Arranged Marriage: This is common among those people who don't have guts to fall in love or who are unable to find partner for themselves. Probably, these people fall in love after their marriage. Most of the arranged couples are ugly...hee hee.

Love Marriage: I kinda like this type of marriage. People love each other and after a couple of years, they marry each other. Don't know much to talk about this.

Lou Marriage: It happens between the couples who are louing each other. This is common among South Indian people. I think Lou marriage is more or less the same with Love Marriage but I assume Love marriage couples are much more developed and beautiful than those people who lou each other. Those who lou each other probably stare at each other all the time as though they find each other so very beautiful. Most of the couples in this category have dark skin and thick oily hair. They also have a very strong body odour and are very much hurry to get into the bus and train when crowded.

Thank you!
