Project Details
We bring you these stories of cancer survivors with the hope that you will find inspiration from these stories as you are going through this journey in your fight against cancer. Every cancer survivor has a story to tell – one filled with fear, hope and courage. No two journeys are the same even though you will find a lot of commonalities in these stories. When you read someone else’s story, it can often ease the burden of this disease and bring you the much-needed hope, inspiration and passion to keep fighting the disease. Hope these stories inspire you as much as it inspires us to give in our best and be with you through this journey.
A surgeon examined him initially but the ulcer was not amenable to surgery as it was locally advanced with a few swollen bilateral neck nodes and he was referred for radical radiation therapy. Going through radiation was not easy for him as he had severe mucositis which involved lot of painful ulcers, an inflamed tongue, oral cavity, and severe pain in the throat. He couldn’t swallow food and we had to insert a nasogastric tube through the nose to maintain his nutrition.
