Lisa Ray, noted Indian and Hollywood actress, has recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form of cancer. The disclosure was made by Lisa on her blog (lisaraniray.wordpress.com) apart from the fact that she has expressed the will-power to get treated soon and lead a normal life once again.

She said, “I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma on June 23rd. Started my first cycle of treatment July 2nd. Not long ago.”

When asked her life in the wetsuit and steroids, Lisa was quick to remark that her skin has shown signs of stretching and is moving in ways that she had not experienced before.

From Lisaraniray.wordpress.com:

In the industry I’m in, you could say, its motive alone that gives character to your acting.

So today with Velcade and, Revlimid and other promising new treatments in the pipeline our survival rates are improving. But only with an ever expanding toolbox of treatments and awareness can this Cancer be beat. So I’m going to do everything I can to wrench the spotlight onto Myeloma and Cancer Awareness.

I believe it can be cured.

That’s the Dirty Realist in me.

So back to the ‘Yellow’ Diaries. And more on ‘Yellow’ and charging your yellow later…
On Steroids: you are HUNGRY ALL THE TIME.

When Dr. Ahmed Galal, my Warrior-Hematologist at Princess Margaret Hospital gave me my first cycle of meds, he capped his recommendation off with a charming gesture that meant: Beware of sweets.

Well. Sweet things aren’t the only temptation.

Every cycle of treatment, I’m on Dexamethasone for four days on, then four days off.

Fans of this actress with good looks and substance have already started praying for an early recovery.
