July 14th 11.50pm (Delhi)

After exactly 4 months here i am sitting in the guest house of Delhi after a very long and tiring day to write how happy i am to see my mom getting back in action...When i read thru my own blog and think of the grinding times we had over the last one year - makes me feel "my god ! we all actually survived this pain ! "...more than anyone, my mom has survived it...

Next Saturday is her last cycle of treatment and we are all sincerely praying that no hospitals for her for sometime !
Mom is beginning to get her hair back and i can see her with the same energy and vigour like before...she is truly the most inspiring person in my life...its hard to believe when you look at her that she is the one who has endured so much pain in life - emotional and physical - and yet she wakes up with a smile and does everything possible to make our lives easy and simple.

Whatever we do in return will still be short of what she has done for us ! Love you mom !

I guess all mothers are always a bundle of inspiration for children and guess our children will think the same of us as they grow up ! During my last visit to the hospital with my mom there was a 75 year old undergoing chemo...and her daughter was with beside her taking care of her...It got me to tears thinking how can a 75 year old survive the pain of Chemo ! we got talking and i realised that she is a doctor herself (children specialist) and she told me how she detected her breast cancer...we realised that her case is exactly the same as mom's and the same doctors were treating her too...In spite of being a doctor herself she still had tears in her eyes as she was telling me her story of dealing with cancer and how happy she is to have her daughter by her side who came from the USA leaving her 2 children behind...

Trouble times brings strangers together and a deep understanding and emotional support is drawn even from people whom you have never met before in life !

We got talking and told her of all the things to do and not to do during cancer...made me realise how helpful we can be to people who are going thru the same pain...

I am now looking for voluntary organisations who help counselling patients with cancer and help them cope with it - emotionally and physically - a strong determined mind,heart and soul can make you overcome any problems in life !
