Lisa Ray’s got Cancer (Myeloma) | Eyes Read It

It is true, the lady who made us cry in Water, and who made us sweat in Kasoor is suffering from Multiple Myeloma Division, a rare form of cancer. Well she has been very brave and come out in the open with her condition though advised otherwise by some as it may “affect her Career.” She was diagnosed on June 23rd, and is undergoing treatment since July 2nd. One more thing if u go through her blog posts about the same at http://lisaraniray.wordpress.com/category/the-yellow-diaries/ (there 6 posts there as of 14 September) you will sure notice that she is very calm about it all. We are surprised to see her having an intact sense of humor at this dire time of crises. Way to go Lisa… She is currently raising awareness about the condition which is incurable till now and needs research. She writes that she had a feeling of something wrong when“The signals: I was always exhausted, pale, drained, and completely depleted of red blood cells. The lack of oxygen made me a serial yawner and spacier than a displaced Czarina. Little did I know, but my hemoglobin had fallen to levels where even a dedicated Blood sucker would turn their thoughts to revival. In between work and travel in India this year, I got a routine blood test and the results sent me to the hospital for a blood transfusion.” She describes the condition as “For me, it was a relief to hear what was wrong. The plasma cells in my bone marrow were rampaging, multiplying, squeezing out the red blood cells and it was time to begin doing something about it.” Lets hope our effort here spreads some more about her condition and thus helps her recover. Truly wishing Lisa a speedy recovery from TheReelMag team. God bless her. PS- She has an excellent humorous writing style, read her blog at http://lisaraniray.wordpress.com/ Written by- Ali Naqvi.
