Anchal Sharma Cancer Does Not Define Me!

Anchal Sharma, a public figure is often referred to as the Iron Lady. She in spite of innumerable challenges breast cancer being one of them chose a path to serve others and become a role model. She is the founder of Meals of Happiness (MoH), an NGO that provides free food to underprivileged children across Delhi and Gurugram every day, a Social worker, Entrepreneur, Josh talk speaker & Founder of CANHEAL, a One-Stop shop for the cancer community.

When cancer treatment ends, people begin a new chapter in their lives, one that can bring hope happiness, but also worries and fear. No two people are alike. In your case Anchal, how did the fight against cancer change the direction of her life? 

In my case cancer is not the only challenge I phased in my life but lot more and because of all those experiences I become so strong and deal able to deal cancer with lots of positivity also I am big time believer...I believe that this is not the end of my life. I can't skip my pain or discomfort or any other challenges I am going through because of my cancer treatment...so why don't I accept my illness and focus on my treatment, be positive trust me being positive and affirmations for good help plays a big roll.....I start helping other in whatever capacity and trust me I forgot about my pain I forgot about my cancer I use to dress up every day like a doll wear my best make-up and go for my treatment alone.....and that's the time when I realized this is what I want to do I found purpose for rest of my life....and started "MOH"
