  • I would like to thank you for the nursing services arranged during the last 10 days. Appreciate your help. I would like to mention Antony (Nursing co-coordinator) for the excellent support and help.

  • Hope you’re well and following al necessary precautions in these uncertain times. Stay safe!

    I wanted to send this note earlier but with the current situation and lockdown I’ve not been able to do so. My apologies for that.

    After 3 to 4 months of critical care, my father in law passed away earlier this month. We as a family are extremely thankful to the nursing staff who were with him throughout and did everything possible to make him feel comfortable and cared for.

    We did hit a rough patch at the start but your intervention helped a lot and we’ve not had to worry about quality thereafter.

    While there were quite a few staff members who were involved (Laxman, Monto, Ebby) and very good at their work, in particular we have a deep sense of gratitude for Mr. Jabin who has consistently been with him from day one. Mr. Jabin was assigned to take care of my father in law while he was still in hospital and he took all efforts to match the quality of care just as they were doing in the hospital. Till the last moment, he was there with our family and has gone above and beyond his duties. It was extremely touching to see how he developed a bond with his patient and would care for him as one of his own. The more I say is less when it comes to Jabin and the way he has taken care of him is exemplary.

    We are very thankful to the entire Portia team. Your services are a blessing for families that are need of critical care in a home setup.

    We wish you luck

  • I would like to appreciate the support provided by the Portea Luckow team during this crisis time.
    I have been taking services from your organization for almost over a year now, have faced few minor issues earlier but the kind of support the team provided in this testing time when the whole medical support is closed is exceptional and laudable.
    My father was admitted in hospital on 20th March and was in ICU and was forcibly discharged on 25th March while being monitored in ICU. I was not getting any support from any of the hospital then I called Rakshit for help. He immediately arranged for a 24 hrs nurse assistant at home. He gave me confidence to overcome the change of managing my father at home. He has been in constant touch with me providing help, guidance and facilitating medical supplies at home. Looking at the criticality of the patient he made a home visit and took cognizance of things , guided the NA asked him to take proper care and even help my mother in home care also.

    The efforts your Lucknow team put in to support the patient at home is highly commendable.
    Thank you so much for helping me out during these very difficult times. Your help has been invaluable to me, and I don’t know how I would have managed without your help and support. Again, thank you so much. I sincerely appreciate your generosity.

  • write this note as I still grieve the loss of my dear mama. I would like to thank you who personally ensured she had the care required in the last 2 months of her life.
    Pushpa, is a well-skilled attendant, the staff that substituted for her too had a great kind attitude to my mother, and this I appreciated very much. The physiotherapists had rehabilitated her well, given her condition as well.
    You run a good service for the sick and/or dying and God Bless you and Portea for the help and unwavering support provided to me and my mother.
    I would recommend your services without hesitation.

    Many thanks and best regards,

What Is Blood Cancer

Content is medically reviewed by:

Dr. Udaya Kumar Maiya (MBBS, MD, DNB(RT), DCCF (Paris), Medical Director, Portea

Also known as leukemia, it is a condition of cancer in the body’s blood cells. Formations of the white blood cells that are abnormal can cause blood cancer. Generally, white blood cells are meant to cure infections but the abnormal ones cause the normal blood cells to malfunction. This causes blood cancer symptoms in people as the blood cells become unable to perform the functions that they are supposed to.

There are many different blood cancer types that are based on the development of the blood cancer stages. Blood cancer symptoms in people most commonly require them to go for blood cancer treatment.

Blood Cancer Symptoms

By analyzing the blood cancer symptoms, the doctors can diagnose and plan a suitable blood cancer treatment for the patients. Mentioned below are some common blood cancer symptoms.

  • Severe pain in joints and the bones
  • Swelling of the lymph nodes in people
  • Night sweats and fevers are common symptoms
  • Tiredness and feeling of weakness
  • Frequently occurring infections
  • Bruising and bleeding of cuts
  • Dwelling and discomfort in the abdominal area
  • A loss in the appetite and weight loss in people

If someone sees any one or more of these symptoms, then an immediate checkup at the nearest hospital is advised so that the diagnosis can be done. If the blood cancer is diagnosed, the patient can go for blood cancer care at home. The condition worsens with the progressing blood cancer stages so going for a blood cancer diagnostic test is really important.

Blood Cancer Causes

It is important to know the blood cancer causes and also understand the options for blood cancer care.

Normally, blood cancer causes include the formation of abnormal and immature blood cells in the body. This will cause the blood cells in the body to multiply and grow and cause malfunctioning. Because of the growth of the abnormal cells of blood, the elimination of the normal ones starts happening.

With more and more production of the cancerous blood cells, the healthy cells are not able to perform their usual practice. With the development of blood cancer stages, the immature and abnormal cells continue to increase and replace the normal ones.

Some of the common blood cancer causes include smoking, hair dyes, ionizing radiation, viruses and a lot more.

Different Blood Cancer Types

There are many blood cancer types and different blood cancer tests are used for the identification of the different types.

  • Leukemia: The type of blood cancer originating in the tissue that forms the blood
  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma: A type of cancer that originates from lymphocytes and occurs in the body’s lymphatic system
  • Hodgkin lymphoma: This is one of the blood cancer types that happens due to a particular abnormal cell which is known as B lymphocyte or Reed-Stemberg cell
  • Multiple myeloma: This is another blood cancer type that affects the plasma cells in the body that are situated in the body’s bone marrow.

Diagnosis of Blood Cancer

For a blood cancer diagnosis, the specialists got through a series of examinations, medical history checking, analyzing the symptoms and other procedures.

Most doctors recommend a blood cancer diagnostic test for the blood cancer diagnosis. It is with the help of these blood cancer tests that the blood cancer can be identified in the human body. Sometimes few other blood cancer screening tests are recommended for identification of any abnormality.

A biopsy of the bone marrow and Chest x-rays are some other forms of blood cancer screening tests that can be used for diagnosis.

Treatment of Blood Cancer

There is a wide range of blood cancer treatment options available. The treatment of blood cancer usually depends on the blood cancer types, the stages and the age and health status of the patient. Studying of these factors in the lab will also play an important role in selecting the form of blood cancer treatment.

Most people often choose to have a blood cancer treatment at home. In these cases, the nurses for blood cancer care are sent to the home of the patient.

Here are some common forms of blood cancer treatment in patients.

Chemotherapy And Radiation

Chemotherapy is one of the most common treatment methods used for the blood cancer. This procedure is responsible for the killing of the cells that are rapidly growing in the body. Radiation is the therapy which is used for killing the cancerous cells.

Blood Transfusion

Another common form of treatment is the blood transfusion in which the components of blood are added through procedures in order to replace the certain deficiencies that are found in the bloodstream of the body.

Stem Cell Transplant

Stem cells are used in strengthening the immune system of the body. Most people are unaware that the blood cancer also eliminates the stem cells of the body and thus makes the immune system weak. With the help of a stem cell transplant process, the body’s stem cells are replaced and as a result, the immune system of the body is strengthened again. This process is done with the help of a donor’s stem cells.
