**My respect for women fighting Leukaemia increases many fold when they
decide to bring a baby into this world by risking their lives. They stop the
medication as it is harmful for the foetus. It is likely that they would lose
their remission in 9 months. Some successfully go back to remission after
taking medicine for 3 -4 months. I always have to reach for tissues reading
their success stories.
