HYDERABAD: Stay positive and drive away negative thoughts in conquering cancer, Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala, a cancer survivor, said here today.
“It was painful and tough journey. If I could do it, you too can do it,” a release quoted her as saying at a debate jointly organised here by FICCI Ladies Organization (FLO), Apollo Cancer Institute and Cure Foundation.
Speaking about her successful battle against cancer, she said she used to consider chemotherapy as vitamin shots.
“Divert your mind. Do what you want to do. Watch comedy films, read, have a party atmosphere at home. You can easily conquer the cancer,” Koirala said.
She ensured that she stayed positive all through her journey of treatment, she said.
The other panelists included Vijay Anand Reddy, Director, Apollo Cancer Institute. Noting that 55 per cent of cancers are preventable as per WHO, Reddy stressed that screening and early detection are important.
Don’t fear illness and don’t fear cancer and fear only finding it out late, a doctor on the panel told the audience. (AGENCIES)
