Cancer ... but not the end of life
Shivani (23) year old, who has been diagnosed with cancer, says that the squamous cell carcinoma cancer in 2018 19 tongues has been confirmed. For a moment I felt that the whole world was over, but I did not lose courage. Without delay, consulted the doctor and had to cut half the tongue in the operation. The doctors prepared a new tongue from the skin of the hand. After this, he went through six cycles of radiation and chemotherapy for 50 days.
The healing process had fractured my body and soul, but I did not give up. I am fully healthy now. Cancer is not the end of life. It can be defeated with strong intentions and spirits. A new life begins after defeating cancer, which is very beautiful. Have courage, victory will be successful.
