# Adivi Sesh remembers young fan Keerthi through memoir 2026-08-22T11:29:55+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Actor Adivi Sesh has backed a memoir about Keerthi, a young fan who died at eight after years of cancer treatment. Titled Thumb-Sucking, the book was written by her parents to document her childhood, treatment and family experiences. Keerthi was diagnosed at four and underwent four chemotherapy cycles, immunotherapy and two bone marrow transplants. She suffered four relapses, while both parents became bone marrow donors. She developed a bond with Sesh after watching Major and called him “Sandeep Mama”. They later played with Lego during his visit. On Keerthi’s birthday on August 17, Sesh ordered hundreds of copies to share her story. Readers can request the memoir by messaging the Thumb-Sucking Instagram page and mentioning his post. Her parents hope the book preserves her memory and offers courage, information and hope to families facing similar circumstances. ## Indian Opinion Analysis A memoir by caregivers can preserve the practical and emotional details that clinical records usually leave out, including how families manage long treatment alongside a child’s everyday life. Its account may help other parents feel less isolated, but personal experience cannot replace advice from a paediatric oncology team. Readers seeking medical guidance should verify treatment information with qualified doctors. The immediate signal to watch is how the book is distributed through its Instagram contact channel and whether that access expands beyond the initial copies. ## Coverage - bollywoodhungama.com Straight account centred on Keerthiu2019s treatment, memoir and Seshu2019s recollections This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
