“We never imagined knee pain could be something so serious. Vedant is strong, but as parents, watching him suffer is the hardest thing we have faced. I am a farmer, and my income depends on the seasons. We are already in debt, yet we hold on to hope for our son’s recovery.”
A few months ago, Vedant Patil, a 13-year-old boy from Belgaum, Karnataka, began complaining of constant pain and cramps near his knee. His parents initially believed it to be a minor injury or fracture, something that would heal with time. Concerned, they took him to an orthopaedic doctor, where an X-ray revealed a life-altering diagnosis, osteosarcoma of the left proximal tibia.
