Samyuktha Menon Instagram – February 4th , noted as World Cancer day. I had the opportunity to address a gathering of Cancer survivors. ‘Fighters’ would be more apt than survivors. Some women , introduced themselves to me , mentioning they survived it three times , two times. The strength I saw in their eyes was immense . Strength which is permanently embedded in their eyes. Once they cross that fine line, the days of treatment, the days they fight against it , all they need is emotional support and a loving world. Some of them were worried about losing their hair , losing their charm…. We have to tell them, it doesn’t matter. Your determination to fight makes you charming. The strength you show makes you beautiful. Is that worry also because of the judgmental world ? Do we need to judge someone? No . No matter what. How they are , how they look doesn’t matter. What’s important is how happily we live our life , how much happiness we spread around us , how much acceptance we show . Live and let live !! All my wishes to those strong people I met . Also to Paripoorna , a centre for comprehensive women’s healthcare .
