How long will I be alive? The first question that strikes a person who gets to know that he has cancer.
Cancer, a critical illness, is not an infection. Cancerous cells multiply faster than the normal cells too. It is unfortunate that complete cure for all forms of cancer has not yet be discovered (indirectly meaning it has been found for some forms of it). Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the normal forms of treatment and it depends on the part of the human body affected.
Cancerous cells started growing within my brain. I too was disappointed. I read a line written in place of a hospital name 'CANCER IS NOT FATAL' and it gave me some mental strength, no doubt.

| I CAN SIR |
I had written an article and it got published in the The Hindu - A cancer survivor's testimony of the battle and got a number of responses from the readers. MANY RESPONSES WERE FROM CANCER SURVIVORS. And most of them had their treatment more than five years ago. Few of them had undergone treatment before ten years ago. Reading those replies have made me more confident.
Those diagnosed with cancer, let us face treatment bravely, and remember the life we will have after it. Let us forget that it is malignant and concentrate on daily life. It is with that in mind that I have completed this blog.
For others, this is to create an awareness. I also request you to avoid using substances that are clearly marked as carcinogenic.
I request survivors to respond to this blog, to encourage others and boost ourselves too. You could also write a blog and share the link :-)
