Cancer

In 2012 Tanvi Naik was diagnosed with breast cancer. Entering her treatment with optimism and hope, and with a loving husband and two young daughters at home, she stood firm in the belief that death was not an option for her; “that’s for other people,” she’d say. As Tanvi and her husband Prashant embarked on an incredible journey, their lives were completely put on hold and they were confident they would overcome this setback. Unfortunately, Tanvi’s cancer was not as simple to cure as first anticipated, numerous challenges and obstacles came their way as the aggressive strain of cancer invaded her body. Just when they thought they had beaten it, the Naiks’ biggest fear was realised – Tanvi was diagnosed as terminally ill and, frankly, they’d need a miracle to beat this. Written by her husband Prashant, Tanvi’s story of bravery and determination is shared with the reader in a touching manner.
