What are the main blood cancers, and how do they show up?
Each one below is really a group. The exact type is what decides treatment.
Acute leukaemia
Fast-growing. It often shows up as tiredness, fevers, bruising or bleeding gums that came on over a short time. Treatment usually needs to start soon, with a hospital stay.
Chronic leukaemia
Slow-growing. It is often found by chance on a routine blood test. Some types are treated with daily tablets. Others are watched with regular counts.
Lymphoma
Swollen glands in the neck, armpit or groin that do not go away, sometimes with fevers, night sweats or weight loss. A biopsy names the type.
Myeloma
Back or bone pain, tiredness, kidney trouble or frequent infections in an older adult. Blood and urine protein tests and a bone marrow test confirm it.

Start with a Consultation
Ask for the doctor you want, or we’ll match you.
What are the steps from your first call to a treatment plan?
- 1
Phone the care team
Share the report and the patient's main symptoms. The team books Dr. Pokhrel at Kukatpally or L.B. Nagar, and tells you what to bring.
- 2
The consultation
He examines the patient, reads every report, and says what is clear, what is not, and why.
- 3
Confirming tests
Often a bone marrow test or a gland biopsy. The team tells you where it is done and roughly when results come back.
- 4
The plan
You hear the treatment advised, other options, a written estimate, and where each part will be given, including whether any of it can happen at Kompally.
How does CION Kompally help during blood cancer treatment?
CION Kompally is a consultation and day-care chemotherapy centre. It is not where the haematology consultation happens, but it can matter a great deal once treatment begins.
1The address
H.No. 2-181/2/C, Suchitra Circle, NH-44, Kompally, Hyderabad 500067. It is about a two-minute walk from the Suchitra Circle bus stop. The centre is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
2Day-care close to home
Chemotherapy is given at this centre as day-care: blood counts checked in the morning, treatment given, home by evening. Some lymphoma and myeloma treatments suit this well. Some leukaemia treatment does not, because it needs a hospital bed. Dr. Pokhrel tells you which applies before treatment starts.
3Who finds it convenient
Families from Suchitra Circle, Alwal, Dundigal, Medchal, Quthbullapur and the northern side of Secunderabad often use Kompally. The same helpline books every CION centre in the city.
4Between haematology visits
Blood cancer treatment means frequent blood counts. Ask your care team whether some of those checks, and the follow-up conversations that go with them, can be arranged closer to Kompally. It saves the patient a long day of travel when they are tired. Any change in the plan still comes from Dr. Pokhrel, who sees every result and decides what happens next.
Good to know
This page describes services. It cannot say what your blood report means. Only a specialist with the full picture can.
What do bone marrow and lymph node reports mean?
Bone marrow
The soft tissue inside bones where blood cells are made.
Aspirate
Liquid marrow drawn out with a needle, usually from the hip bone, to look at single cells.
Trephine biopsy
A thin core of bone and marrow, taken at the same sitting, that shows how the marrow is arranged.
Cytogenetics
Tests on the chromosomes of the cells. They help predict how the disease will behave.
Excision biopsy
Removal of a whole swollen gland, which gives the lab the most material to type a lymphoma.
Staging
How far a lymphoma has spread in the body. Scans usually decide it.
Which ideas about blood disorders are worth questioning?
Myth
"Low platelets mean dengue."
What is true: Dengue is a common cause in season. But platelets that stay low after the fever has gone, or keep falling with no fever, need a different explanation. A haematologist can find it.
Myth
"Leukaemia only affects children."
What is true: Some types are more common in children, but many leukaemias affect adults, including older adults. Age is not a reason to skip a specialist opinion.
Myth
"Herbal tonics can build the blood back up."
What is true: Tonics do not treat a marrow problem, and some can upset blood tests or interact with treatment. Tell your haematologist about everything the patient takes.
Myth
"Once treatment ends, the visits are over."
What is true: Follow-up blood counts continue for a long time. They show whether the marrow has recovered and catch any return early, when it is easier to deal with.

What Kompally families ask about haematology care
Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.
1Can I see Dr. Pokhrel at CION Kompally?
Dr. Pokhrel sees patients at CION Kukatpally and CION L.B. Nagar, not at Kompally. The Kompally care team can take your call, check the reports you have, and book the consultation at whichever of the two centres is easier for you.
2What is Dr. Pokhrel trained in?
He holds an MBBS, an MD in Immunohaematology and Blood Transfusion, and a Fellowship in Clinical Haematology from CMC Vellore. His work covers blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma, and blood-count problems that are not cancer.
3What should we bring to the first haematology visit?
Every blood count you can find, old and new, plus smear reports, scans, biopsy reports and slides, and any discharge summary. Bring a list of the patient's medicines and tonics. Old reports help the haematologist see whether counts are changing slowly or suddenly.
4Can treatment be given at Kompally after the diagnosis?
Chemotherapy is given at CION Kompally as day-care. Whether your treatment can be given there depends on the type of blood cancer and its phase. Dr. Pokhrel decides, and tells you where each part will happen before you agree to anything.
5Does a bone marrow test hurt?
The skin and bone surface are numbed first. Most people feel pressure and a short, sharp ache when the marrow is drawn, and some soreness afterwards. It takes a short time and most people go home the same day. Ask for pain relief if you need it.
6Is a swollen gland in the neck always lymphoma?
No. Most swollen glands come from infections and settle within a few weeks. A gland that keeps growing, stays for several weeks, or comes with fevers, night sweats or weight loss should be checked. A biopsy is the way to be sure.
7Will insurance cover haematology treatment?
CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. Bring your insurance card and policy papers on the first visit. If an employer or government scheme covers you, mention it when you call so the team can check it.
8Can we ask for a second opinion on a diagnosis from another hospital?
Yes. Bring the reports, the slides or marrow sample details if you have them, and the plan you were given. Dr. Pokhrel will go through it with you and explain where he agrees or differs. It does not commit you to treatment at CION.
