The Power of Faith

My story is short but I want to share it because it proves the Power of FAITH.

Vandana Kaushik

All of sudden in November 2015 I was diagnosed with malignant tumor in kidney. Within 4 days I was operated and subsequent biopsy revealed stage 4 Renal Cell Carcinoma which had already spread to lungs.

In January 2016 treatment started in Delhi but after 8 months it failed and again cancer started aggressively.

There was no further treatment available in India and I went to USA.
There I was put on immuno-therapy and on a drug which was approved for treatment in USA recently, in November 2015 only. Within few months I showed signs of recovery and finally this year I was declared totally free of cancer and was off treatment.

My interest I sharing this story is this,that anyone passing through any crisis in life, may find something in it, to be helpful or useful in facing their problems. 

These are simple things;

1. Most important things in life are health and relationships.
2. Those things which we can not see, like good wishes, blessings, affection and love of family and friends and peace of mind impact our well-being much more then all the treatment and medicine.
3. One simple ritual or habit of reciting any mantra, in any language, or just any prayer, at least once a day can do miracles.
4. What you feel you become.
5. Feeling GRATEFUL and APPRECIATING the gift of being alive, goes a long way in our well-being.
6. More you ALIGN yourself to nature, talk to trees, leaves, flowers, rivers, mountains, or whatever natural beauty you find near you, makes you feel one with universe and replenishes your life .
7. Slowly one starts feeling that there is no difference between life and death. 
8. TRUST in any God, deity, priest, name, mantra or whatever you may feel fit or like. Cling to its feet like a new born child clings to mother.
9. Rest will take care of itself.
10. Even if you fall in depth of death, mother is always there waiting to hold you. I may not be alive tomorrow, or cancer can again come and take me anytime but I have today and it is sufficient. It seams that life has ways of opening new doors before closing old ones.
    
    Wishing all the very best in life.
