“This was my first CML support meeting. I have always helped Papa draft these quotes after every meeting, and now I am writing one of my own – a deeply personal and eye-opening experience. I was six when my father was diagnosed but only came to understand it at ten. Today, as a final-year MBBS student at IGIMS, Patna, it all came full circle. Seeing my professors, Dr. Dinesh Kumar Sinha and Dr. Rajesh Kumar Singh, on the medical panel made it even more meaningful. In that room, I found strength, joy, and a powerful sense of togetherness reminding me that we are not alone, and that life goes far beyond a diagnosis. Being part of this meeting, in association with The Max Foundation through its support with donated medicines and Friends of Max (FOM) for diagnostic support, further reinforced my belief in equitable access to care and the hope it brings to countless families.”
