Stay in Alive

Its been 6 months when I was detected with this dreary disease.Things around me has not changed a bit except my close family vacillating back and forth.It weakens my inner fortitude also at times,but then I have committed myself true grit and tenacity in all these times.I was reading Daisaku Ikeda today and read his poem 'Ablaze with hope' with my wife.

" Ablaze with hope,
I face the raging waves,
Though I may be poorly clad,
and even should others mock and ridicule me,
I will endure with fortitude.
Just watch me succeed " !

Yesterday it was a world cancer day and it was then I decided to write a blog.I was going through various write ups on Cancer yesterday, and I was surprised to know that Cancer is one of the top causes of death in India when read the facts of India Today group with link as blow.

 After reading all this I was just wondering whether people are aware of these facts and what measures are being taken by the government and society by and large.
