It is the anniversary to celebrate my life. You would be thinking
that it is a wedding anniversary? No it is my cancer anniversary.
I was a passionate student of nearly 21 years old. I was
enjoying life in each and everything like studying, reading, playing and
watching movies, surfing internet. I was leading my life happily but a day I
was shocked to learn a fact. It not only disturbed me but my family and
friends. It changed my life and I was forced to lead life in a changed way
after that news.
Seven years back, the same day I heard “You have cancer” by
my doctor. I was totally surprised and spent the day in a situation that cannot
be described. “Its’ cancer” are the words sounding in my mind. I got first
surgery immediately to avoid chemotherapy. It was not fun to spend a week in
hospital for me in case of this serious disease.
WHAT I LEARNED FROM CANCER
- I learnt many things from cancer; the most important things in my life were my faith, my family and my friends.
- Lancer Armstong says in a commercial “Remember me cancer? You made me who I am today?” As 7 years have been past and today is my cancer anniversary.I learnt many things from cancer such as;
- My illness spreads the circle of my friends even those became my friends whom I don’t know. I received many emails and cards from people whom I don’t know. I was passion up with their love and support.
- There is nothing impossible in the world so you should try. I had heard death after cancer but it enabled me to fight and I won.
- My family was with me at each and every step and supported me.I was encouraged and felt a kind of power and positiveness in my mind.
- I did not feel any kind of self dignity in the gown I was at hospital. So I became humble and treated with everyone in a different way than past.
- I felt the real love of my friends and family even I was pale, sick, skinny and weak but still I was happy to have all this.
- It came in my mind many times to ask God, “Why”. I suffered from it as a large number of people are enjoying their lives so why I have it.
- I learnt that prayers can change your life and Allah answered and my friends and family’s prayers were fulfilled when I was completely cured.
- These are prayers that can keep your life intact. So don’t be disappointed and struggle to fight.
Every morning when I got up I was reminded that I am in
cancer. But today I celebrate my life of being cancer free. The cancer has
changed my life which I cannot describe. I learnt the most important lesson today
“Important and caring things are very simple … my faith, my family & my
friends.”
