Iwas diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2010. It was an excruciatinglydifficultexperience for me and my family. But we
were fortunate, I was treated by some
fantastic doctors and nurses who
saved my life. The experience was also

promotes investment in biomedical
research and health innovation.
At the start of 2010, life was going
smoothly. I had a great family life
