“My children want me to live. Spent 4 lacs to treat my tobacco related oral cancer”. I CAN WIN FOUNDATION

“My children want me to live. Spent 4 lacs to treat my tobacco related
oral cancer. Wish I had never taken Khaini”

“I am Ganesh Prasad of Panama Gram, Bhagalpur District in
Bihar. I took khaini (spit tobacco) for 30-40 years. I stopped tobacco for 10
years. Few months back I noticed a lesion (Chota Dana) in my mouth.  Initially I ignored it. But later I got it
examined. It turned out to be cancer. I have got it treated successfully.
I belong to an ordinary family. I did not have the money for
treatment. My children want me to live. They collected money and got me
treated. My treatment cost around 4 lacs of rupees. I wish I had never taken
khaini.

I request all those who take khaini, Gutka or tobacco in any
form to stop taking it. They would be healthier and happy and not a burden on
anyone”.
