“ 74th Birthday Morning,
phone ringing for wishes… unattended
cup of tea and newspaper waiting for the sip… unattended
something not right…
blood in stool,
why?
the fear…
diagnosed stage 3,
self ….silence…
family…tears…
question from mind : Life is at its evening , is night now near?
answer from will power : Life has a new day every day and evening to disappear.
months and weeks…
chemos & radiation ,
pain , irritation
exercise & running ,
will power , motivation
cheers over jeers
close competition
then…
….the long day ….surgery
preference …on two legs not the stretcher
fun over depression,
proudly walking the red carpet of the theatre
few needles in back ,
….. six hours of unconsciousness
silence…
….dark deep silence
then the flash…
a rainbow from nowhere….
in brightness …. appears son’s face ….
congratulations you have won the battle
operation success-full
the smile of his will power replies , yes I hear ”

18th Aug 2018 , an Army Vet age around 74 years was diagnosed with colon cancer stage between two and three.
The picture below is of day 2 after surgery , clicked on 18th Dec 2018 where he is sitting and advising people around on how to defeat cancer.All credit of his success-full operation and recovery goes to his own will power and belief that Cancer is just another illness and can be cured if one is determined to beat it.
Doctors and staff attending him were saluting him for his will power and positivity as he was sitting fit and fine even after undergoing 6 longs hours of surgery.
From the day he was diagnosed Cancer to the day of surgery following was his routine:
8 kms brisk walk daily even on the radiation day.
2 hours exercise ,1 hour morning and 1 hour evening exercise — focused on abs.
no food restrictions everything he had other than non veg.
Main important thing carrying attitude of Positivity and Will Power that he will beat this illness .
