I was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma ( bone cancer ) when I was 13 year old. I underwent 10 surgeries and 15 chemocycles. Post surgery my backbone shifted sideways and limbs became disproportionate. I have faced lots of ups and downs during my treatment including many paralysis attacks. My family has been my biggest support system throughout. It has been five years since I am off therapy and will be celebrating my 19th birthday next month. I was crowned as the first “Miss India Cancer Warrior Beauty Pageant, 2022”. I am also a motivational speaker and running my NGO which works towards raising cancer awareness . I don’t know when the world will become cancer free but I want to remove the fear of cancer from everyone’s heart and mind.
