Even after a couple of weeks, there was no relief, he then visited Fortis Hospital, Mulund where he underwent a series of tests to understand the gravity of his discomfort.
The tests revealed low platelets, subsequently, he was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) i.e. cancer of the White Blood Cells; he was then taken under the care of DrSubhprakashSanyal, Consultant Hematologist, Fortis Hospital, Mulund.
