🩸The day I was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphocytic Leukaemia at the age of 19 is etched in my memory like a somber melody, forever altering the course of my life. I was navigating the labyrinth of university life studying my undergrad, blissfully unaware that an unforeseen storm was about to engulf my world 🌍 .After weeks of being diagnosed with “Freshers Flu 🤧 ” by my GP, the A&E consultant concluded and uttered those heavy words… “I’m afraid its cancer Miss Sehdev, most likely an acute Leukaemia 🦠 ”.

A chill ran down my spine and time seemed to freeze . The sterile hospital room became a cocoon of disbelief 🏥 , my dreams shattered like fragile glass. It wasn’t just a diagnosis it was a seismic shift in my reality. University, which should have been a time of exploration and self-discovery, transformed into a battleground against an unseen adversary.

Each step felt like an uphill climb ⛰️ , as the weight of uncertainty and fear pressed down on my shoulders. The vibrant hues of youth were replaced by the muted tones of hospital walls. Blood transfusions became a ritual and the hospital bed 🛌 , my reluctant companion. Amidst the clinical beeps and hushed conversations, I grappled with the fragility of life. Friends moved forward with their lives, while I lingered in a parallel universe, tethered to the drip of blood transfusions that sustained me and today continues to sustain me.

Yet, within the stark confines of illness, I discovered resilience. The support of family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧and friends became a lifeline, weaving a tapestry of hope in the darkest moments. The simple act of waking up each morning became a victory, a testament to the strength we often underestimate within ourselves 💪. As I walked the tightrope between life and the unknown, gratitude emerged as a guiding light. The taste of fresh air, the warmth of sunlight, and the laughter of loved ones took on profound significance 🧡. The mundane became extraordinary, a celebration of the precious moments woven into the fabric of existence. Diagnosed at 19, I faced a journey I hadn’t chosen, but in that adversity, I discovered a reservoir of courage I never knew existed. Leukaemia, though an uninvited guest, couldn’t blow out the flame 🔥 of resilience burning within. Each day became a chance to redefine normalcy and embrace the poignant beauty of a life reshaped by unexpected twists.Today, as I reflect on that tumultuous chapter, I recognise the indomitable spirit that emerged from the crucible of adversity. The scars are a testament to battles fought and won, a reminder that even in the darkest hours, there exists a flicker of light, waiting to illuminate the path forward!!!
