In December, my first chemo session was followed by disappointing news after six months—it didn’t work. The proposed solution was radiation, acknowledged as palliative, signaling the approaching end. Amid the whirlwind of emotions, we couldn’t accept it. Seeking a second opinion was met with concern about potential upset, but to our relief, the doctors not only understood but encouraged our decision.

In 2015, my husband and I received a heart-wrenching news, I had a uterine cancer.

 
 
 

After initial treatment failure, we sought a second opinion from a renowned genetic oncologist and opted for immunotherapy in August 2017.

 
 
 


After a tough 6-month battle with cancer, I received the good news from my doctors that my tumors significantly reduced, and I was later on declared cancer free.

 
 
 

Life brings us challenges, and my cancer journey, now 8 years past, was one of them. Despite it all, these challenges strengthened the bond I have with my husband. As a couple, we continue to thrive.
