My grandmother was the closest individual to me since my childhood. I grew up by seeing her first in the morning and the last person in the night.

It was in the last chemotherapy session of my grandmother that I decided that I wanted to be take this as my profession and build my career on it and facilitate such kids and adults going through it by coming up with better ways to treat the disease.
