Hello Kishore,

Trust me your life begins now.

Your will and positive attitude has helped you and hats off to your family. I can imagine what would be going through them during your time of struggle. without their support it would have been very much difficult for you.

I am 41 and have a similar experience. I had a Liver transplant a year ago and started my new lease of life.

I second your views Family first, fitness comes next. Financials is something every one needs to plan and be ready for any unforeseen challenges. I was fortunate had sufficient time to make my savings for a transplant.

Wish you good health and quality new life

That's a great story of courage and just facing life on your own terms.
Thanks for sharing your story, It's easy to complain about how you have been handed a bad deal even when you are healthy and happy, this puts everything into perspective.

Wish you luck in your fight. Our prayers are with you.

This is one post which am going to reread many a time. Sharing one's experiences especially on the medical front requires lots of courage and guts and you have lots of guts and spunk, pal!! On this occasion of Navratri, may Goddess Durga give you and your family lots of blessings and Shakti. These are life's experiences that alter the total oaradigm towards life. Stay blessed, friend. If I have your consent, will share it on FB, as it will give lots of hopes to many people who are afraid to share their inner feelings and insecurities. All the best!!

I can relate to whatever you have mentioned in the post as I went through a similar experience with my son (9 year old) recently. Believe me, nothing can come close to seeing your kid going through the treatment. I lost more than 10 kgs in those five months. Alhamdulillah (praise to Allah), he is fine now. The entire family suffers in every way. It is very important to lead a healthy lifestyle and have proper medical insurance and savings. Being healthy does not mean that you wont get the disease, but we should do whatever we can. The best part of the experience is that I have become stronger and realize all the blessings I took for granted after interacting with so many patients. Never compromise your health and family in pursuit of rat race. My priorities have changed completely. Serve humanity in whatever way you can and be happy.

Cancer wonder drug discovery claimed

https://www.indiatoday.in/science/st...687-2022-06-08


Excerpts

Cancer in all patients vanishes for the first time during US drug trial.

A small-scale trial of a drug for cancer treatment has shown 100% success in removing the tumours and preventing recurrence in patients. According to experts, this is the first in the history of medical science.

HIGHLIGHTS
- Tumor vanished in all 18 rectal cancer patients during a drug trial.
- The trial was conducted for 6 months.
- The cost of the drug (in trial phase) is approximately Rs 8.55 lakh.

The world may soon be able to get rid of a dreaded disease that is feared for the sheer number of lives it claims — cancer. For the first time, a drug trial has shown 100% eradication of cancer in patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, US.

Too early to determine the long term universal efficacy of this drug but it sounds like a step in the right direction. The ugliness of cancer and the cost it imposes on the patient {sufferer} and care takers {co-sufferers} has to be experienced to be believed.

Well, I'm not sure about the good habits as despite following lot of habits that I thought were good (like 4 days a week exercise, cardio exercises to increase oxygen intake, eating very healthy and green to keep the body alkaline, etc.), the cancer has come back again as expected. In fact the Oncologist had cautioned it could come back in a 3-4 years but lucky me, it came back after 7 years !!

Since the cause of cancer is not known for many different types, being healthy as much possible is one good way. If there are any prior instances of cancer within the immediate family, then you need to be cautious for sure.
