My mother underwent a surgery on 20th June, post which we were doing the hospital rounds for around three to four months. Though she was recommended six Chemioterapia cycles, we went ahead with two. She went through countless emotions, changes in her body, and behaviour during the surgery's recovery month. It was after that she went for Chemotherapy but didn't feel any improvement. On the contrary, she was feeling uneasy and unmotivated. It was then, that I took the reigns in my hands and explained to my mother to switch to alternative methods of treatment. I recommended her to focus on lifestyle changes rather than sticking to the conventional chemical route.

Mia madre è una casalinga. Siamo una normale famiglia indiana con frequenti problemi indiani come convincere il bambino a sposarsi, la pressione delle faccende domestiche sulla signora e simili. Tuttavia, tutto ciò era troppo per mia madre, che era stressata. Lo stress emotivo è prevalente in India, ma spesso non ne parliamo con i nostri cari. Inoltre, avevamo recentemente cambiato Casa e questo ha anche aumentato lo Stress mentale. Lo stato della tua mente e del tuo corpo gioca un ruolo vitale nello sviluppo delle cellule tumorali nel corpo.

Abbiamo iniziato a pensare ad altre alternative per tenere lontana mia madre dai cicli di chemioterapia. Ho detto a mia madre di passare a uno stile di vita e una dieta naturali per migliorare la sua salute. Scegliere un percorso di cura è una delle scelte più confuse e difficili che ho dovuto fare. Ho consultato alcune persone in diversi campi e mi sono messo in contatto con loro. Il modo migliore per conoscere il trattamento alternativo è contattare le persone che hanno subito la stessa situazione ed esperienza. Fu allora che ero determinato sui programmi di guarigione.

People often ask me what made me change my mind because steering clear of Chemotherapy seems like a risky choice. The fact is that I am a very natural person who believes that nature is a fantastic healer. I read a lot about alternative healers and reached a firm conclusion. There was a point when I was the only one supporting alternative treatment because I could see my mother's condition deteriorating and I couldn't bear her suffering. My sister and I explored multiple options to find what's ideal. Though everyone around us kept urging us towards chemotherapy, we didn't let fear stop us.

Il trattamento del cancro è una questione molto personale. Ognuno di noi ha un corpo unico e diversi tipi di cancro. Quindi, se ognuno è diverso, come può un trattamento essere adatto a tutti? Ogni combattente contro il cancro deve scegliere ciò che è meglio per sé. Se qualcuno si sente a proprio agio con la chemioterapia e vede i risultati positivi, allora deve sventolare la bandiera verde.

Presently, I'm 24 years old, and I have been a Vegan for around one year now. I understand the direct link between your lifestyle and your health. The food you consume is a propeller that decides the direction your body moves in. Convincing others was the biggest challenge because they had not undergone and experienced the body changes that I had. They were virtually unaware of the benefits of what I was suggesting at that point and time. Now, my mother's hair is coming back, and she is having a good time with her family and friends. Yoga l'ha anche aiutata a mantenere un corpo calmo e in forma.

My most significant advantage was my access to people with a similar story. I was able to make them understand my beliefs and consequently got an insight into what they had to offer. Not many sufferers have the blessing of such a support system. I have been a person who is always faithful to myself. I follow what I believe in and do not get influenced by others. But, we are also lucky and thankful that our decision has worked out in our favour. With so many striking opinions from everyone around you, such as hospitals, and insurance companies, and likewise, you get to see the ground reality of business and living.

Every 90s kid remembers Captain Planet's words that the power is always inside you. My message to every fighter out there is to believe in yourself and not give up hope. You are only as strong as you consider yourself to be. On the other hand, caregivers must also keep aside a recharge time for themselves. I used to spend time in the hospital the whole week and then take a break on Sunday. Or, I would walk for 10 minutes in the nearby park each day to relax my mind and connect with nature and myself. It's been a rollercoaster ride, but now it is all peaceful.
