With tons of success stories of cancer survivors, we see people have an enormous amount of strength and some unimaginable faith! It only doubles the amount of energy to fight with the uncertainty that is thrown at you by life. It gives you the courage to stand for yourself with or without anyone’s support. All this is important because when life tries to test your threshold, you should be ready to face the challenge and tell that you are the winner!!
Another fighter recently revealed her challenge. Sonali Bendre, the beautiful Indian actress was diagnosed with high-grade cancer that has metastasized. She mentioned in her Instagram post about how some minor pain led to some tests and there she was.
This is what she wrote:
“Sometimes, when you least expect it, life throws you a curveball. I have recently been diagnosed with a high grade cancer that has metastised, which we frankly did not see coming. A niggling pain led to some tests, which led to this unexpected diagnosis. My family and close friends have rallied around me, providing the best support system that anyone can ask for. I am very blessed and thankful for each of them.
There is no better way to tackle this, than to take swift and immediate action. And so, as advised by my doctors, I am currently undergoing a course of treatment in New York. We remain optimistic and I am determined to fight every step of the way. What has helped has been the immense outpouring of love and support I’ve received over the past few days, for which I am very grateful.I’m taking this battle head on, knowing I have the strength of my family and friends behind me.”
Metastasis cancer is the kind of cancer that breaks free from the original tumor and enters into the bloodstream
With all her Bollywood fraternity sending her love, she is all charged up! As she is undergoing her treatment in New York, she recently chopped off her beautiful locks. It was an emotional moment for her and her family! But she’s all heads up for this. It’s so good to her smiling through this process!
And Sonali’s capacity for renewal is awesome
“In the words of my favorite author Isabel Allende, “We don’t even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity, people do amazing things. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome.”
The outpouring of love I’ve received in the last few days has been so overwhelming… and I’m especially grateful to those of you who shared stories of your experiences in dealing with cancer, whether it was your own or of loved ones. Your stories have given me an extra dosage of strength and courage, and more importantly, the knowledge that I’m not alone.
Each day comes with its own challenges and victories and so for now, I’m taking this #OneDayAtATime. The only thing I’m trying to be consistent about is maintaining a positive outlook… literally #SwitchOnTheSunshine – it’s my way of dealing with this. Sharing my journey is also part of this process… I can only hope it reminds you that all is not lost and that someone, somewhere understands what you’re going through. ??
Thank you @tomoarakawa for making this a chic transition from long to short!”
She’s looking amazing!! <3
Sonali is combined in this fight by her husband and her son! May you win
Like everyone else, we too are waiting for her to recover and rise from the ashes like a phoenix. May the winds blow your way and you win this challenge. Come forward as a winner. Sending love and prayers your way! Cheers. 😉
