On the day My friend Nidhi and her husband Raj were set to celebrate the birth of their son, their three-year-old, Kiaan was diagnosed with blood cancer.
Their whole world instantly plummeted into darkness as they were told their beautiful brown-eyed boy had an aggressive blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia.
“Through the sadness and grief, we didn’t know how to respond. The walls shattered.”
“You never think the worst will come true,” said Nidhi. “It is very hard to receive that shocking news. You don’t want to accept it.”
“Kiaan’s platelet count was so low that if he had fallen over at daycare and hit his head, he would have died.”
