Two years ago on this day I found myself standing outside an Oncologist's clinic. I could not understand what I was doing there. Probably the FNAC report came out positive. My dad had collected the report earlier that day and my mom took me to the doctor without actually breaking the news to me. Standing there, I realized it had definitely come out positive. I could not control my tears!
Rewind
Life could not have been more beautiful. Well, it could have been a little more beautiful but then who is not a little greedy. I had returned from US after a work stint of a year and a half. I was absolutely elated to be with my family and friends. Eating the first golgappa of my favourite road side golgappa-wallah made me taste heaven. I was mentally prepared to start guy hunting with my parent's help for an arranged marriage. I was not too happy at work but I was sure that I would be able to sort that out with my boss soon.
And then I started experiencing some health problems. My mom had noticed a swelling over the upper lip as soon as I had landed in India but I had dismissed it as something temporary. But now it was becoming more prominent. I wonder why some one else or I had not noticed it before. May be because I had put on some weight :-)
Fast Forward to Present
Here I am celebrating my second cancerversary. I have been in remission for more than an year now. Life is beautiful again :-)
