Manish Mandiwal is a stage 3 colorectal cancer survivor. Initially, he had irregular bowel moments, which he did not take seriously. Later he noticed white mucous during bowel motion. He underwent surgery, 28 rounds of target radiotherapy, and oral chemotherapy as a part of the treatment. He was blessed to have a supportive family and friends throughout the treatment. He says, "Cancer stigma is still a predominant issue, but it is essential to provide awareness. Do not fall into the trap of so-called "Sympathy"."
