to be honest everything about the cancer track has been a disappointment.
Firstly a doctor always tell the patient firsthand about their disease. and infact, if the patient is an adult,they can choose if they want to tell their family members or not, and not the other way around. so beeji taking weeks to tell maanvi would have never happened in the first place.
Second, there are a few alternatives to treat cancer, eg, chemo, radition or bone marrow treatment etc and as people have pointed out you can get all the information by just googling it. so the cvs are just pain lazy. also chemo is an on going process and it sometimes takes a couple of years to treat the cancer, so there is no way of knowing that after only 2/3 months of chemo that its not going to work. incidentally, the last time she had chemo seems like ages ago and in between her hair miraculously grew back! again, it would do so quickly because you would be having regular chemo sessions, and a side effect after each session is more hair loss.
and everyone in the show making a big deal about hair short hair, really??? honesty that's the last thing anyone worries about when having a disease such as leukemia. your whole body seems so weak and frail, especially after the first 3/4 sessions that you just want to get better. hair is seriously so secondary. plus, having short hair is also a fashion statement. cant believe the cv's have made such a big deal about it, and saying that no outfits match with her short hair.
lastly, to people saying that you cant get engaged while having leukemia is also wrong. my boyfriend proposed and we had the whole elaborate Indian engagement, while i was undergoing chemo. but yes, not 3/4 months in, but 1 and half years later. so my health had improved and also i could handle the side effects of my disease better . and everyone was aware of my disease and worked around making it least strenuous for me.
sorry for the long post, and i do enjoy the show, just wished that they could be more realistic in portraying a person with leukemia, having gone through and beaten it myself.
