It came as a rude shock when the news of Lisa Ray’s fight against multiple myeloma was out. The pretty model-cum-actress was diagnosed with a rare kind of blood cancer in June and after which she started on with the chemotherapy treatment.

Now, it is reported that Lisa will be undergoing a stem cell transplant in Toronto in few days. Lisa was quoted saying that the procedure would begin by releasing her own stem cells into her blood, then collecting them and later freezing them. She said that the process would take nearly two weeks to complete, and then she would have to wait for a stem cell transplant.

Lisa Ray had people in awe with her courage and confidence, by coming out and sharing about her illness. We saw her cheerfully promoting Dilip Mehta's ‘Cooking with Stella’ at Toronto International Film Festival, few months back. Hope the best works for Lisa.
