Cancer Survivors
Hi All,
almost a decade ago when I had my cancer surgery, almost daily I used to log on to some sites & chat with people across the globe, read their stories. There were many cases, where the doctors told them that the cancer patients may survive for just few months, but these patients had survived for many years after that. So, it all depends on one's attitude to life. If one is positive, then one can fight the disease & win over it.
As for survivors in India, I know more than a dozen who have survived for more than 3 decades after cancer ! There are quite a few, who had cancer when they're young, won the battle & got married & have had kids ! Even after my surgery, one young lady who had thyroid cancer, became my friend & asked me what food to follow, when we've to go for whole body scan & then became a good friend of mine. She was very keen to have a 2nd baby, told her, that if her TSH levels were well under control, she can have another baby. Well, she did have the 2nd one & all are doing great. She did her B. Ed. after her 2nd delivery & is waiting to teach in a school now !
There are 1000s of survivors in India ( that is just a small figure for sure) & 10,000s around the world. Don't get frightened by the name, once you've had surgery to remove it, kindly follow the doctor's advise, go for regular follow up. Be positive, think cancer was all past, learn to live in the present & enjoy life to the utmost, after all life comes just once !
Best wishes to all.
