Fight and Fight till the Lion(disease) becomes Lamb

Yes, that the word 'Fight',
We need to create a positive environment around the patient, we have to make sure he/she starts believing that they can fight with it, and can get through out of it.

By this time probably your fight is started now, (assuming you are day 2 )

TARGET 1: TO get a room.
you need to get a Private Room in the hospital or a Bed.

Usually AML cancer need to be treated aggressively { high dose of chemotherapy - 3gm per meter square = a 74KG man probably gets 36gm of CYTRABINE (CYTOSAR)}
This chemo kills all the blood cells includes cancer cells as well as healthy blood cells. Hence if it is possible try to go for a Private room.

In AIIMS private rooms are classified in two categories:
Class A -- room rent Rs1700/day + Rs 100 for meal
Class B -- room rent Rs1100/day + Rs 100 for meal

In total there are only 120 rooms (approx) including New Private Ward and Old Private Ward)

Keep in mind you are in the hospital for next 3months+
so choose your room wisely.

I will try to discuss Managing Money separately on a new post.

When the lightning strikes


Sarve bhavantu sukhinah (May all be happy);
Sarve santu niramayah (May all be healthy);
Sarve bhadrani pasyantu (May I see goodness in everybody);
Ma kascid dukhabhag bhavet (May misfortune never ever befall).

I started with this Geeta shalok in a hope that no one ever needs to suffer the pain with this disease. I am writing this blog  just for a sole purpose to provide as many as possible information on this disease under one roof. My experience with haematological department of  All India Medical Sciences (AIIMS) is last about 11 months, during my father Shri Harsh Chaturvedi treatement with AML M5 blood cancer.





Look at these people, all who died in these accidents never had a chance to fight for their life. At least we have. Lets start this journey of war with cancer with courage, with dignity.
