In November 2022, Vibhu took to his Instagram and wrote: "This picture sums up my life this year. Lemme explain; Because of six months of chemotherapy with the most toxic drug in the world I’m experiencing many side effects and one of them is neuropathy. It happens when the nerve endings in your hands n feet die and u lose sensation, sensitivity and some motor control in hands n feet, so doing simple tasks like writing , typing , buttoning shirt, tying shoe laces, eating, keeping hands steady becomes very challenging.
“Here I am trying to take a picture (a very basic thing nowadays) and my friend is stabilising my shaky hand by supporting underneath. I couldn’t have taken a clean picture without this support. And that’s my life this year, me trying to live a normal life and you all being my stabiliser my support which makes my shaky life a bit more stable and normal. So thanks y’all for being there and adding so much to each moment of my life.
I have no idea how long this journey remains for me to get outta this crisis but your presence gives me assurance that all will be fine in the end. #CancerStories pic : @arp.go
