Sonali Bendre Discussed About Her Cancer Diagnosis
Sonali was asked how she dealt with the news that she had cancer and what her first reaction was. She said, “When I accepted my malignant growth determination, my most memorable idea was, ‘The reason me?’ I’d wake up and think it was all a dream; I could not comprehend how this could occur to me.
‘I used To Ask God…Why Me?’ – Sonali Bendre
I began to alter my thinking at that point. In place of “why me?” I began asking, ‘Why not me?’ I began to feel thankful that neither my sister nor my son were affected by this. I understood I had the solidarity to manage this, I had the assets to go to the best clinics, and the emotionally supportive network to help me through this. Beginning to wonder, “Why not me?” helped me get started on my road to recovery.
