Shrenik Shah – Cancer Winner in 23rd year as #differentlyABLED, Laryngectomee & global patient leader & motivational speaker.
I am a businessman and an international motivational speaker based out in Gujarat. I have seen the world, I would say. I have traveled across 37 countries so far.
I defeated cancer of the voice folds 22 years ago, with my will to win, coupled with a dedicated team of doctors who left no stone un-turned to aid my fight against the disease.
In 1997 I was diagnosed with voice folds cancer, stage IVA. At that time I had severe breathing problem and survival seemed bleak.
At 44, as the only earning member with wife,2 sons I didn’t know how things would pan out with an aggressive disease as such.
As first step, I bravely accepted the diagnosis, undergone total Laryngectomy, tracheostomy, Radiation resting all faith on my will power and the treatment I was prescribed. And result – a resounding victory over an advanced stage cancer.
Post the treatment I confidently started speaking with artificial device called Electro Larynx, producing precisely audible sound.
I never feel it is an artificial means of giving voice to my thoughts. I love my voice and it is my identity & premier asset for life time..

With Relentless pursuit I wish to live my life to touch hearts of 1 Million Cancer patients to turn them into warriors by offering a hand of HOPE to hold, help heal and comfort by motivating them world over.
