About this listen

He was a cardiologist at the top of his game-until his own body turned on him. On an ordinary Monday, a sudden cramp in Dr. Deepak Thekkoott's leg sent him on a harrowing journey from healer to patient. Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, he was thrown into the chaos of hospitals, chemo, and confronting death-all while trying to hold his family, his faith, and his sense of self together.

Silk and Clay: A Physician's Journey of Cancer, Survival, and Restored Faith is a richly layered narrative that weaves together medicine, memory, and migration-told with unflinching honesty and spiritual depth. It is about what it means to heal when the cure might kill you, and to carry centuries of culture and love through each brutal day.

With sharp detail, searing vulnerability, and flashes of dry wit, Dr. Deepak invites us into a body broken, a spirit searching, and a soul that refuses to be undone.
