Bhivesh Chaudhry, Cancer Survivor said, “I am from Jaipur. I was diagnosed with NSGCT(non-seminoma germ cell tumour) a type of Testicular Cancer stage 2b in September 2020. That time I was 24yr old. I came to know about this after my first surgery. At first it was completely scary, I was afraid as the cancer name is more than horrifying. After counselling from doctors and support from family members I had
only 1 thing in my mind, I am far more strong than this, It is just matter of time, it will pass and I will beat cancer and will be more than good again. By right treatment at right time and by extreme care and believe I was fully recovered in month of March 2021. Within that timeline there were 2 surgeries and 4 round of chemotherapy. I just kept 1 thing in my mind, my family is with me, doctors and medical staff is providing the best care, I have to be positive this is just a disease. By this positive thinking and strong believe in doctors, I am more than good now living a blissful life.”
