Zuvius<\/strong>: <\/strong> What were the circumstances that made you decide to go for a checkup?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Archna: I noticed one node in my neck and immediately I decided to get all my checkups done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My husband and I consulted our family doctor and all the cancer-related checkups were done. I was diagnosed with third stage advanced renal carcinoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zuvius<\/strong>: <\/strong>How did you decide which hospital \/ doctor you should go to for further treatment?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Archna: We decided MAX SAKET is best for this treatment. Dr. Harit Chaturvedi advised the immediate removal of the left kidney. The surgery was done within two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zuvius<\/strong>:<\/strong>  What was your immediate response on learning you had cancer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Archna: I got upset and was shocked to hear it. It felt like all of my senses had gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zuvius<\/strong>:<\/strong> Who was the first person you called to tell about your diagnosis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Archna: I gathered everyone in my family together and broke the news to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zuvius<\/strong>:<\/strong>  Who and what kept your spirit up, gave you the strength and confidence to go through this difficult phase of treatment without losing hope?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Archna: My family especially my kids and my friends. They all were my source of energy. They always boosted up my moral and kept my hopes alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Zuvius<\/strong>: <\/strong>  What were the physical changes seen in yourself, in your daily life and how did you cope with those?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Archna: I got very weak after my surgery and chemotherapy but I tried to think positively that everything will be fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zuvius<\/strong>: <\/strong>What is the first thing you decided to do after you were declared cancer free?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Archna: I wanted to go out with my kids for a ride, drive my car by myself to Sai Baba Temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zuvius<\/strong>: <\/strong>Did having cancer change your perspective on life, things around you?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Archna: Yes I did notice a little bit of a change in my thoughts, but not in a remarkable way. I had a weaker immune system so I used to take more care about even little things and for my kids as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zuvius<\/strong>: <\/strong>Did it affect the lives of people around you? If so how?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Archna: Yes it did. I was always the one who ran about taking care of every little need of my family and loved cooking for them but then I got stuck in one room and my kids had to take care of their studies and cooking and everything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always felt bad that I am ill but soon after my third chemo I started doing my household chores for my family and kids and felt happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zuvius<\/strong>: <\/strong>What were your conceptions about cancer before and after the treatment?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Archna: Everyone should care for themselves.  We should not ignore even the little symptoms of our body. It could be alarming for our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zuvius<\/strong>: <\/strong>If asked to say something to motivate cancer victims what would you say?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Archna:The best thing is to be positive and think positively in every manner and remind yourself every moment that – I AM GOING TO BE OKAY SOON AND I AM FINE. BE POSITIVE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
