Lisa Ray “The Yellow Diaries” Incurable Cancer Revelation (Photos)
Canadian-born Bollywood actress/model Lisa Ray started a new blog “The Yellow Diaries” where she revealed she was recently diagnosed with a rare and incurable cancer, Multiple Myeloma.
Lisa wrote, “I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma on June 23rd. Started my first cycle of treatment July 2nd. Not long ago. For me, it was a relief to hear what was wrong. The plasma cells in my bone marrow were rampaging, multiplying, sqeezing out the red blood cells and it was time to begin doing something about it. You just know when something is kosher with your body. When I got the news, I didn’t react and didn’t cry. I am an actress, believe me, I can be dramatic.”
“It’s a relatively rare cancer of the bone marrow that affects about 6000 Canadians. Every year, approximately 2100 more cases are diagnosed,” she wrote adding, “But only with an ever expanding toolbox of treatments and awareness can this Cancer be beat. So I’m going to do everything I can to wrench the spotlight onto Myeloma and Cancer Awareness. I believe it can be cured.”
The 37 year-old actress is keeping a very positive attitude and believes she can be cured while still trying to be “sexy”. In The Yellow Diaries, Lisa promises to give people an insight into her life and the difficult journey ahead.

I have a brother who was diagnosed with this cancer and given 2-3yrs. It is now7yrs. He went into remission and was able to climb Mt. Kilamanjaro to raise funds for Myeloma. There is an excellant newsletter called the Myeloma minute and you can start handing out wine coloured bracelets to your friends. The most important thing is your attitude and that sounds like yours is pretty spectatular. Good luck with your fight .
