Just over a year ago, my life was filled with dreams, ambition, and excitement for the future. I was working as an Influencer Marketing Manager, leading campaigns for renowned brands like Maruti and Zomato. I loved what I did, was building a promising career, and was looking forward to marrying the love of my life.
Then, everything changed.
I was diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL), an aggressive form of blood cancer. In a matter of days, my life shifted from career goals and wedding plans to hospital visits, chemotherapy sessions, and a relentless fight for survival.
A Long and Difficult Battle
My treatment was expected to last six months, but severe complications and side effects turned it into a year-long battle. Physically and emotionally, it was the toughest period of my life. Yet, I held on to hope and continued fighting.
In January, we finally received the news we had been waiting for—my reports showed no detectable cancer. My family and I believed the worst was behind us and that life could finally return to normal.
A Heartbreaking Setback
Unfortunately, during a routine follow-up biopsy in May, we received devastating news. The results showed 5% MRD (Minimal Residual Disease) positivity, indicating that the leukemia cells had returned.
The specialists were deeply concerned by the sudden relapse. Given the aggressive nature of my cancer, they advised immediate and intensive treatment. Time is critical, and delaying treatment is not an option.
The Treatment That Can Save My Life
My doctors have recommended a two-step treatment plan:
- Targeted therapy to eliminate the remaining cancer cells and achieve complete MRD negativity.
- A Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT), which offers the best chance of a long-term cure and prevents the cancer from returning.
Over the past year, my family and I have already spent ₹15–18 lakh on treatment, exhausting our savings and resources. While we have somehow managed to arrange funds for the immediate targeted therapy, the transplant and donor search remain beyond our reach.
To move forward with treatment, I urgently need:
- ₹12–15 lakh for donor registry search and matching
- ₹50–55 lakh for the bone marrow transplant procedure and hospitalization
This brings the total urgent requirement to approximately ₹40 lakh.
