My daughter was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma in 2017 at age of 20yrs. Started as normal lower back pain…treated for sciatica.. but pain.persisted..thinking it was caused by gaming. Was eventually admitted for UTI …neurosurgeon did MRI…this started the ball rolling. Our worst nightmare…cancer..sent to oncologist..did further tests..diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma..a rare cancer..mostly found in children…her age group about 13%..had to be our baby…she took this on …and said we will overcome.. smiled throughout treatment..never complained…her courage, strength, poaitivity, tenacity,feistiness…was amazing..gave us strength.. but sadly didnt work out like we prayed for or thought it would..was no miracle for her or us…Revantha succumbed to her cancer on the 12 July 2018 …her 2 wishes ..to document her journey and open a foundation for those suffering from cancer..to give back …so to honour our warrior..we launched a foundation to support any form of sarcoma..called Sarcoma Foundation 1212 launched on 15 July 2023…as long as we can give what we were able to give our child..we will honour her wishes.
