“My name is Lisa Ray and I am a cancer survivor,” are the first words she utters to introduce herself.It’s the way she chooses to introduce herself ever since she contracted the dreaded disease two years back.

“My journey (through cancer) is still going on. People ask me ‘Lisa, what have you learnt?’ I tell them that I am still processing it.

Cancer has changed my whole life, and I am still learning what the disease taught me. But I can tell you for sure that without some people, which includes my family, I wouldn’t have been able to see it through,” she adds.

She recalls the trying moments she went through during the phase. “Cancer is not about healing the body. It’s about healing the mind. As a patient, I also had to go through fear and isolation. It’s a human thing. But we need to share our stories. And I am blessed to have a mountain of support when I was battling my disease. Please tell people that conquering cancer needs attitude. It’s all about your attitude,” she adds.

She saysshe’s emotional like ‘any other Indian’.“It has become my passion to fight and stand up for cancer patients, wherever I go. I am sure I will get as much support in my fight for others as I was getting when I was fighting it,” she signs off.
