What Our Patients Say

“I just want to tell others who are going through it that there is hope. My doctors were always there with me in this fight and helped me win. If you have faith in yourself, you can definitely beat leukaemia.”

“When my mom and dad first tried to explain, all I could hear was the word cancer............and then everything else was muffled. I did not believe them when they said I will be cured. But after 3 years from that day, I am cancer free and living a completely normal life."

“My life changed in a matter of moments when I was diagnosed with Leukaemia. I was not scared about my exams anymore, I feared for my life. Thought I will never be able to go to school or meet my friends again. But today with the help of my family and doctors, not only I can enjoy with my friends, I never miss a day of school!"

" The immense support I got from doctors and caregivers during the most difficult time of my life cannot be put into words. Leukaemia is curable, and if I can overcome this, you can too."

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

Cancer treatment is given to make sure all cancer cells are killed. If treatment is stopped too soon, then the cancer cells may come back and then it will become more difficult to treat.
Other forms of treatment where herbs, vitamins, unknown medicines are to be taken may have a negative effect on the treatment being given. Though not scientifically proved, these may interfere and reduce the effectiveness of the Chemotherapy medicines being given. It is suggested to avoid any other forms of treatment and discuss with the doctor.
Treatment of Leukemia in the early stages is very intense and might throw up several side effects, some of them if not addressed immediately might turn fatal. Hence it is suggested to stay within 30 minutes driving distance from the hospital so that the doctor’s can diagnose and treat the child without any delay.
We recommend going back to school once the intensive phase of therapy is over and Maintenance therapy is started.
