Just read an article saying that by 2020, every family in India will have one person with cancer. A sobering thought! #mycancer.

@shrutimalviya My biggest fear is that I will forget the lessons I have learnt and take my body/ health for granted. #mycancer.

@shrutimalviya Yes, big changes. Some people came much closer and others distanced themselves. It felt weird, then settled down #mycancer.

There is also a chapter on the Death/ Grieving process in our book 'My Cancer Is Me' which many people have appreciated. #mycancer.

@shrutimalviya The best work on this is by Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross (On Death & Dying). I recommend this book highly. #mycancer.

@shrutimalviya Typically, there are 5 stages: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance. Time range varies for people. #mycancer.

@shrutimalviya When I told my parents & Nilima's parents, they didn't believe it. Most people react this way, starting with DENIAL #mycancer.

@shrutimalviya We told our kids that same evening. They were 11 & 8. Don't think they understood fully, but knew it was serious #mycancer.

It was so disorienting. Time seemed to stop and the blood drained from my face. "I'm going to die" was my very first thought. #mycancer.

I remember Dec 11, 2001 very well. A cold, dark morning in London, my doctor calmly announced that I had 2 tumours in my colon. #mycancer.

I wonder if there's any cancer patient in the whole wide world who's forgotten the 'red letter' day of their cancer diagnosis! #mycancer.

@shrutimalviya We may find cures for the physical aspects wrt disease/ organ. Much more important is the healing of the person. #mycancer.

@shrutimalviya Honestly, sometimes yes. I feel a twinge of fear whenever I visit a cancer hospital. It is very natural, I guess. #mycancer.
