On
the
occasion
of
World
Cancer
Day
on
Thursday,
Bollywood
superstar
Sanjay
Dutt
shared
his
experience
during
a
virtual
press
conference,
'Cancer
Up
to
Date:
Cancer
Care
Advances
in
a
COVID-19
Reality'
organised
by
The
Defeat-NCD
Partnership.
Specialists
and
health
professionals
from
all
over
the
world
talked
about
the
advances
in
the
field
of
cancer
care,
especially
during
the
current
COVID-19
pandemic.
Having
been
a
part
of
the
Nargis
Dutt
Foundation,
Sanjay
Dutt
has
dealt
with
it
closely.
While
sharing
the
closing
remarks
for
the
event
with
his
doctor,
Dr
Sewanti
Limaye,
the
superstar
opened
up
about
his
thought
process
when
he
went
through
the
difficult
phase
of
dealing
with
the
disease.
He
shared,
"When
the
news
was
broken,
there
was
a
lot
of
anger
inside
me
and
I
wondered
why
me.
People
take
a
lot
of
time
to
decide
how
they
want
to
take
their
treatment
further
but
I
had
to
make
a
decision
quickly
because
I
felt
that
I
didn't
have
much
time.
So
I
accepted
my
illness
and
once
I
did,
I
thought
I'll
fight
the
cancer
no
matter
what.
When
I
came
to
meet
Dr
Sewanti
Limaye
for
the
first
time,
it
was
with
this
mindset."
The
doctor
went
on
to
share
that
when
they
had
met
for
the
first
time,
Dutt
had
come
in
with
his
family.
She
also
commented
on
how
he
had
an
aura
of
peace
and
calm
when
they
met.
She
went
on
to
ask
him
about
his
thoughts
when
discussed
his
treatment
to
which
Dutt
shared,
"It
was
comforting.
There
was
a
time
when
they
told
me
that
it's
a
50-50
per
cent
chance
and
I
want
you
to
be
fifty
per
cent
on
the
positive
side
of
the
border.
That
sentence
made
a
lot
of
difference
to
me.
It
was
then
that
I
decided
to
make
sure
that
I'll
always
be
on
the
brighter
side
no
matter
what
I
have
to
go
through."
Earlier
in
the
day,
Dutt
had
taken
to
his
social
media
to
express
his
gratitude
towards
The
Defeat-NCD
Partnership
at
United
Nations
Institute
for
Training
and
Research
for
appointing
him
as
a
Global
Champion
For
Cancer
Care.
He
even
shared
that
it
was
his
honour
to
be
a
part
of
the
initiative
'Saving
Lives’
where
he
will
be
spreading
awareness
about
the
disease
and
narrating
his
story
to
help
others
battling
with
it.
Over
the
years,
Sanjay
Dutt
has
proved
that
with
strong
willpower
and
the
support
of
your
loving
ones,
you
can
deal
with
any
and
all
challenges
life
throws
at
you.
Kudos
to
the
superstar
for
still
going
strong!
