[FULL] Giri: "One Day At A Time For 7 Weeks", Nasopharyngeal Cancer Survivor Speaks About His Experience And Recovery Journey

It has been 9 years since Giri was diagnosed of nasopharyngeal cancer. To him and everyone around him, it was the worst experience one could ever go through. There were no symptoms when he was diagnosed with it, but starting the treatments meant he had to endure all the pain that came with them. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the latter made his mouth and throat so dry that he had to rely on tubes to sustain himself. For 7 weeks, he had to tell himself "One day at a time". I cannot relate and hope that I don't, but in the story I heard despair and hopelessness occasionally, but towards the end, it was clear that Giri emerged victory over the challenges. Speaking with Giri made me appreciate our health even more and I think everyone should. Join me as we hear his inspiring story of hope and resilience.
