Nicole’s Battle with Retinoblastoma | Dr. Poonam Patil | Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road

In 2014, Baby Nicole from Indonesia was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer affecting both her eyes, at just six months old. Seeking specialized care, her family traveled to India, where they began their journey at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Bangalore. After initial assessments, Nicole was referred to Dr. Poonam Patil, Consultant - Medical Oncology, who devised a comprehensive treatment plan involving chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Despite her young age, Nicole bravely underwent six cycles of chemotherapy over six months. Now 10 years old, she has been cancer-free for six years, leading a healthy and normal life, and continues to attend regular follow-ups.
