Irrfan Khan writes heartwarming note on cancer battle; celebs and fans show support
The actor went public with the diagnosis on March 5, and has been in London for treatment.
Irrfan in March announced he has been diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumour and that he was going out of the country for treatment.
In a note to The Times of India that he shared on his Twitter account today, Irrfan said he got to know that the disease was rare. Due to the unpredictability of the treatment and few study cases, he was now a part of a "trial-and-error game", the actor said.
‘As if I was tasting life for the first time, the magical side of it.’ https://t.co/GX0CqfjSVX

Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are neoplasms that arise from cells of the endocrine (hormonal) and nervous systems. Many are benign, while some are malignant. They most commonly occur in the intestine, where they are often called carcinoid tumours, but they are also found in the pancreas, lung and the rest of the body.
