Khaled was only a boy of 18 when he joined the war. He fought for a free Bangladesh. He had been trained as a guerilla in Lower Haflong camp in Assam It is only because of the extraordinary courage of ordinary teenagers like Khaled that we have a free Bangladesh today

He acquired a Government scholarship to pursue higher studies in the then USSRAnd right after completing his studies abroad, Khaled came back to the country, went back to his home ground, Chittagong, and joined as a faculty in the Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology

For almost two decades, he is striving against this adversity, a dreadful type of skin cancer
Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma— a treacherous type of white blood cell cancer, that creeps up very slowly. It takes at times more than 10 years to diagnose this disease, and in this case it took 17 years
![Page 10: Presentation on Freedom Fighter A.J.S.M Khaled](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020218/5593b8d51a28ab4a0d8b47ad/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
This disease exposes the victims to immense sufferings; it is extremely painful, debilitating and disfiguring
Though doctors do not claim full cure for the disease, there are a large number of medications to which the disease responds very well and they lead to long remission of the disease which helps regain normal life

About the treatment
![Page 12: Presentation on Freedom Fighter A.J.S.M Khaled](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020218/5593b8d51a28ab4a0d8b47ad/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
For late stage lymphoma, there are a good number of options for treatment:
1. PUVA / UVB + Interferon + Retinoid / Rexinoid (Bexarotene)
2. Total Skin Electron Beam Radiation (TSEB) + Interferon + Retinoid / Rexinoid
3. Photopheresis + Interferon + Retinoid / Rexinoid
The second (TSEB) & the third (Photopheresis) options are very costly and are
available in advanced countries only
According to the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, estimated cost
for Photopheresis for six months can be as high as USD 90,000

The Treatment History— A Glimpse
![Page 14: Presentation on Freedom Fighter A.J.S.M Khaled](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020218/5593b8d51a28ab4a0d8b47ad/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
In 2007, doctors in India confirmed by biopsy that Mr. Khaled was suffering from
Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma— also known as MF (Mycosis Fungoides). The disease
was diagnosed in two hospitals in India— Apollo Hospital, Chennai, and Christian
Medical College, Vellore
The hospitals prescribed combined chemotherapy known as CVP for six cycles to
continue on a 3-weeks basis. The chemotherapy course was completed on
September 27, 2008
This brought some comfort but not remission. So doctors prescribed PUVA / UVB +
Interferon + Bexarotene. This course started on October 26, 2008 without
Bexarotene, as the medicine is not available in Bangladesh. Efforts are being made
to procure the medicine from abroad
![Page 15: Presentation on Freedom Fighter A.J.S.M Khaled](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020218/5593b8d51a28ab4a0d8b47ad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Like all anti-cancer drugs, Interferon and Bexarotene have enormous side effects. In
order to ward off side-effects, a large number of medications and close monitoring
by doctors are also required
Blood transfusion and hospitalization are required as red and white blood cells as
well as platelets fall too low due to side effects
Treatment duration is a minimum of 6-9 months. Only the
medicines for these 9 months would cost as high as USD
50,000, approximately
— around USD 5,500, per month

Our efforts to save the life
![Page 17: Presentation on Freedom Fighter A.J.S.M Khaled](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020218/5593b8d51a28ab4a0d8b47ad/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Bangla blog communities were the incubator where the campaign to raise fund for Khaled’s treatment was first organized
Within one and a half months, around 7 lacs of Taka has been collectedamong which, about 4 lacs taka has been collected only from the Bangla blog communities
Contributions are made from every corner of the country, and throughout the world
![Page 18: Presentation on Freedom Fighter A.J.S.M Khaled](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020218/5593b8d51a28ab4a0d8b47ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
However, concerning the necessity, the amount collected so far is really insignificant
Banners, posters, and badges are being distributed to raise awareness among the mass
On May 22, 2009, a cultural program took place at the Muktijuddho Jadughor to raise awareness among the civil society

What we need, is some contribution from you

They say that a hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom
