About


I am Mannan and I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia on 17th March 2010 at the age of 28. I have written this diary to keep my family and friends informed how things are going with me.

It's been over two years since I was diagnosed and started treatment for CML.  I'm still alive and healthy. I'm really lucky so far...

I've had a huge outpouring of support from family and friends.  The meals, gifts, emails, phone calls & messages, etc. -- they mean everything and give me more strength than one can imagine.  And my wife Azmira is an absolute rock and she deals with every situations so well ... I don't know what I'd do without her.

I've fared pretty well with physical symptoms but it's the mental change that is most challenging. I can't seem to return to the person I was. My ambition and purpose are altered and I'm waiting for a new passion to replace them.

I hope to share the journey with others and to make a difference along the way.
