What! Cancer! Is it end of the world? Why us? !$??!@$#^#@!?? is the first reaction when you hear that someone you know and love have been diagnosed with any type of cancer. Pandemonium across your thoughts and hope. You go into such a panic that you forget that you are in 21st century and medical field has advanced light years. The gut hurts, you stay sleepless at nights and try to seek questions on why it happens, why it happened, pray that you are in a bad dream, wish it was mis-diagnosed, scream to God why he is so ruthless...
In Apr 2014, my mother was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma and this blog is dedicated to her fight against this super strong lymphoma in India.
Why write another blog? There are several people who have documented their fight, their outcome, their feelings, their path to cure etc. Well, though there are numerous blogs, I could not find anyone writing their experiences of how to get it treated in India. The treatment, medicines, medical sophistication, doctors, expertise, resources in India are on par (and beyond in some things) with the western world but I am attempting to document how it all plays in India.
Today, when I am writing this blog, I am not aware what would be the outcome of my mother, how her treatment will go, how long she will be able to cope up or even as a matter of fact, how long she would live! But this blog should help if any one else is diagnosed with this hard-to-die lymphoma, and tell them that there was someone else who did not let it daunt her and that she stood up the ground to decimate it.
