Cancer Patients Share Stories of Struggle, Triumph
A meet for survivors of leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma after a successful bone marrow transplant was held today by the Nepal Cancer Hospital and Research Centre and Nepal Cancer Support Group in Hattiban, Lalitpur.
During the programme, cancer survivors shared their personal stories of struggle and triumph, and implored cancer patients to remain ‘mentally strong’ to beat the disease.
A 19-year-old leukemia patient Sujal Ranjit said he was diagnosed with the disease when he was five years old. His parents kept the truth for him for the first two years of treatment, after which he discovered the truth himself. “My parents would often have to sleep on hospital floors without any blankets during my treatment,” he shared.
