Breast Cancer Survivers - Success Stories

"I defeated cancer at the age of 75"

My age is 75. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 73. Today I am completely fine and cancer free. Then I was completely sure that nothing can happen with me on health grounds as I was doing regular yoga and pranayam since many years. But as we all know if anything is destined to happen it happens. I felt a kind of a lump near my breast and immediately contacted my family doctor i.e. my daughter in law. She advised me for a cancer test to which it was confirmed that I had second stage cancer. I was stunned and that typical and obvious thought came to my mind about numbered days are left of my life, considering my age. It took me some days or maybe some moments to completely accept the positive side that there is hope n an advanced treatment and that cancer is not a fatal disease any more.

I had to undergo the first operation of my life. The operation was successful and I started recovering. The family support and advise of good doctors is really indispensable. Acoording to me, this was second phase of my journey. I was consulting Dr. Mandhaniya, Dr. Jay Deshmukh, Dr. Jaisingh and my home guide - my Dr. daughter-in-law. I had to undergo kemo therapy sessions for over one year. At this moment, I gave up all the negative thoughts and decided to face the situation n give a though fight. "A fight to win" over my thoughts and some phisical agony. Eventually my recovery rate started overcoming my small and mediocre fears, my normal life started. Today, after all this, my weight has decreased gradually and the positive side is that this reduced my blood pressure to normal. I must mention that the immense strength that I had gained through my meditation and yoga helped me heal a lot.
