“Patients’ Meet is always a top priority in my family. We have attended every one since this group was conceived. Every meeting is permeated by strong comradeship of soldiers fighting man’s worst enemy Cancer. The charisma of Amma and her dedicated team at FOM and Max Foundation have made these meetings so meaningful and knowledgeable. It is indeed an Oasis of data on CML which both encourages and benefits us in so many vital areas. These meetings are a blend of awe at the survival of so many, light picnic-like interactions, while also carrying a quiet sadness for those who are no longer with us.
Let me end with a Quote from the school anthem of St Xaviers School, Calcutta “Hand in hand onwards we go helping the weak, the lame and the sore”. Let me also add that FOM and Max Foundation have not only helped the sore but have extracted nearly all from the jaws of death.”
