Recently I
was diagnosed with a lump on my right ovary and the medical tests pointed at
malignancy. As you can imagine, the news brought with it a lot of concern,
worry and anxiety. I expected it to be a tough ride from there on; tough physically,
mentally and financially.
I have had
the surgery now and the biopsy report said that it was not a cancer tumour; it
was a big endometriotic cyst. But I have not stopped wondering about cancer.
Cancer is a
disease that hits at your morale with its first footsteps itself. Our life
changes the moment we see the first test reports.
For Cancer, we use terms like fighting cancer, surviving cancer, etc. Terms we do not use for other diseases. It is because cancer is an aggressive illness. It often strikes without warning and it strikes hard.

When my
family and I were searching for a good cancer doctor for myself, I came across
a blog by a survivor of a fourth stage cancer. This blog post very efficiently and
objectively tells us about the blogger’s personal experience and how to prepare
for the cancer treatment. I would like to share the link here because I personally
got lot of strength from reading it:
I hope this can be of use to others too.
