Sanjay got diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of 29 after a massive grand mal seizure on the day he landed on Harvard University's campus to start graduate school in September 2021. The same month, he flew back to India to get a 7-hour-long brain surgery. He's currently tumor-free but is living with incurable brain cancer.
He's passionate about mental health, queer rights and advocacy. He loves to dance and has recently started writing poetry. He hopes to be a published author someday and travel the world before he kicks the bucket.
He's writing this book to raise awareness about the unique experiences that Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) face when dealing with life-threatening diseases like cancer.
