Experience description:

Ever  since I was diagnosed for CML in Feb 2004 I never regretted or lose faith in the Almighty and never said WHY ME all I could relate was that God has some purpose in me so that I got this deadly disease at a very young age and I was 36 years at the time of diagnosis. However God has His plans and I developed Resistance and had to do a bone marrow transplant. It was festival of lights in India and On Oct 21st 2006 I travelled to another city Vellore where the hospital was located and has the best team for BMT. I prayed with complete hope and faith that I shall live and promised my two young daughters and parents that I shall come back alive..

Going through a bone marrow transplant is a near death experience because the bone marrow is suppressed with high dose chemotherapy and I am susceptible for any infection leading to death. Though I had all the antibiotics etc given I developed a strong will to LIVE and used to see my wife and daughters photos which made me keep saying that I have a purpose to LIVE

This experience was so blissful and I faced the predicament with courage, hope, faith and trust.

Now I am on remission, grew in my career and my family has established themselves

I want to share my experiences to a larger group and share and add more smiles to all faces in the human mankind across geographies.

At the time of your experience was there an associated life-threatening event?   Yes  I was diagnosed for Chronic myeloid leukemia in Feb 2004 and was under safe medication called Glivec but in Oct 2006 I suddenly took resistance to Glivec and my bone marrow went crazy without any symptom and was medically termed as Blast stage. Only solace was Bone marrow transplant and doctors clearly told me and my wife that they cannot guarantee life for me during BMT as success rate is very low
