Most the fellow patients I met during radiotherapy and chemotherapy were normal. They were not depressed and underwent treatment. They were my role models.
"If you keep on crying, everyone around you will also keep crying, they would not be happy, they wont be able to concentrate on what they are doing,
however if you are brave and smiling, those around you could be the same"
Fellow patients whom I saw around me in the Radiotherapy department never showed any pain or sorrow in their eyes. There was a hall in which we patients would be seated. Most of them came alone. They would read newspapers and magazines and wait for their turn. There was another person who would keep a close watch on the cricket match score. He would go into the radiotherapy room, undergo therapy, return to the television, check the score again and then return.
There was a girl who would be around twenty years of age, who had shaved her hair for a surgery who came there. She was so very casual.
I learnt from all of them that it is very important to be brave and face life.
