Its been close to 3 months since I lost my dad to cancer. The suffering and the pain, he endured,for 5 years ever since he was diagnosed with it, will forever remain like your popular hit movie running in your head, for me. Simply because, seeing is believing. And I have seen it all. Right through to the end.
Yes, its an irreparable loss, and its tough to talk about him in past tense. For me, he will always be a part of my life and I know he will be up there, maybe a star in his own bright space :)
The purpose of this blog, first up, is to convert this loss, into something positive and try to spread awareness about cancer, dad's 5 year journey through it, what we could have prevented, knowledge we should have read up about and been prepared for, so on and so forth.
Its an end to dad's life, but a beginning of hopefully a journey to preventing and helping families of cancer diagnosed people to go through it.
Its a humble moment for me, as I have been asked to enlist as a member of the ColoRectal Cancer Foundation, also in its nascent stages, founded in Delhi. I will be endeavoring to devote time to spreading awareness through writing, in the initial phases, and once I am able to devote time to it, will continue this cause offline as well.
Hoping this beginning will prove bright and successful.
