Every Blood Test Felt Like an Exam: My Journey After Bone Marrow Transplant

Image
  When Every Blood Test Felt Like an Exam Result There are seasons in life when every day feels like an examination. For me, the period after my bone marrow transplant was one such season. After my transplant was successful, I was advised to come for review three days every week. Every review day began early. Before 9 in the morning, I had to give my blood sample.

My lips had turned almost white, and my face carried scars left behind by the oxygen mask during my Cancer Treatment . I could not even get up from bed or walk without someone—most probably my husband—supporting me. Who would not look back?

A power that can influence your thoughts, shape your future, strengthen your faith, impact your relationships, and even change the direction of your life. What is this power? It is the power of your words. Before you dismiss this as just positive thinking, let me share a real-life story from my own journey. A Phone Call That Changed Everything Many years ago, I was desperately longing for a child. I had already gone through the pain of three abortions. The emotional burden was heavy, and the future looked uncertain. Then one day, I received a phone call. Someone informed me that a baby girl was available for adoption and asked whether I would be interested. At the same time, doctors had already given my husband and me a discouraging report. After several medical tests, they told us: "Even if you go for IVF, there is a 99% chance that it wi...
