From a Oncologist's notebook: ''Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in body''
From a Psychiatrist's notebook: ''Cancer always leads to severe major depression''
From an India-TV journalist's notebook: ''Cancer is something that Yuvraj Singh is suffering'' !!!
Nothing is more disastrous than knowing the fact that you are suffering from a malignant cancer & death is knocking at the door. Though AIDS is more dangerous,it is not as famous as it's glamorous counterpart CANCER because no one really comes back from AIDS to reveal the fight with it. But comeback stories are more in case of cancer. Cancer causes depression, depression may worsen cancer & the vicious cycle continues. That is why those who have fought & won the battle against it deserve the salutes from us. Treatment in the textbooks are same for all patients but the patience & self-confidence differs, hence the following personalities are a huge sources of inspiration for all of us.
STEVE JOBS:
If you have slightest of general knowledge then this man doesn't need an introduction.Though he was suffering from carcinoma of pancreas which has a very high mortality rate, the way he worked & uplifted apple is just amazing. The word 'Inspiration' is just another word staarting from 'i', when we talk about Steve Jobs. Now-a-days there are two kinds of phones in market, the iphones & the non-iphones!! this is the man behind the 'i' revolution. Surviving 8 years with a highly malignant Pancreatic tumor, undergoing a liver transplantation & managing Apple simultaneously makes you a true legend.
LANCE ARMSTRONG:
When it comes to sportsperson with cancer, it is Lance who always takes the top spots in web pages. He was suffering from a malignant variety of Cancer of testis. But for him, it was just a disease. His performance after the diagnosis of the cancer proves that self-belief is much more malignant than a malignant cancer. He won the prestigious Tour de France championship for a record consecutive 7 times after the Cancer diagnosis.
Hats off to you Lance.

One of the best base ball players of USA. Currently in the Boston Red Sox team. He was bought by BRS with a price $1.1, the highest signing amount for a second rounder.

He is a professional NHL9 National Hockey League) player of Canadian origin. He was the all time lead scorer for Boston University. He was diagnosed with NHL( Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma) in the year 1997 for which he had to undergo intensive radio & chemotherapy for 2 years. During those days he had nearly faced death once because of cardiac arrest. But ultimately he got cured & re-entered on to the field of ice with a $0.5 million contract for the 1998-99 season. Rest was history as because of his performances the team 'Tampa bay lightnings' easily advanced to all tournaments. Coming back from a Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma, sustaining a cardiac arrest & giving some match winning performances just makes this man special.

I have mentioned about the comeback of 9 personalities from the jaws of cancer. I could have easily searched another name to make a list of 10 comebacks. But I did keep it only 9 deliberately because I'll edit this post & I'll make it 10 only after YUVRAJ SINGH comes back from the Cancer center to the Cricket Center. In short, the slot is reserved for YUVRAJ & this post is dedicated to this person who has tasted us a World Cup.
DEAR YUVRAJ, YOU ARE A SUPER TALENT & WE ALL ARE PRAYING FOR YOUR QUICK RECOVERY.
