Positive mindset can beat cancer: Lal

Bhubaneswar, Feb 4 (UNI) While battling odds in life, a positive mindset is the greatest asset of a person which can turn things around, former Indian test opening batsman Arun Lal told a gathering of cancer survivors on Saturday.
“The body adjusts to what the mind believes… you must believe that you can win,” Lal said while speaking at a World Cancer Day program organised at the Institute of Medical Sciences and SUM Hospital here.
Himself a cancer survivor having successfully battled the condition for eight months, the former cricketer, coach and commentator said his rare jaw cancer which was diagnosed very late forced him to go through a prolonged treatment including major surgery. “When my cancer was diagnosed, it was a ‘touch and go’ situation. But till my surgery, I never thought even for once that I will be defeated or I was facing death,” he said.
