Neerja Malik - A Two Times Cancer Conqueror's Inspiring Tale

'When the going gets tough, the tough get going.’   

Behind Neerja Malik’s radiant smile there are many tales to be told.  Little would you know that her beautiful smile conceals tales of tragedy- complications, miscarriages and cancer. Every episode of Neerja’s life has transformed her into a stellar woman, who evokes immense respect and emotions in the hearts of all. Today she wears many hats - an author, cancer counselor, motivational speaker and a Changemaker!


In Februray 1998, Neerja Malik was diagnosed with breast cancer. The Force had been kind to grant her another life even when the best medical experts claimed that she had only 25% chance of survival. Once again, in 2004, life challenged her with cancer. Strong medicines were prescribed and aggressive treatment was provided to help Neerja conquer the second cancer attack. The treatment succeeded in exhausting her physical energy but not her psychological resilience. It’s said that a true warrior perseveres till the end. Neerja courageously faced cancer and conquered it victoriously. 

By age Neerja is 62 years but I bet, at heart she’s young as 18. You can’t blame yourself if you fall in love with her vivacious personality! Being high-spirited by nature, Neerja always succeeds in giving hope even to the hopeless. What’s the secret behind her beautiful smile? Neerja replies, “Happiness and joy”

Neejra Malik (Author-I Inspire) talks to Aishwaraya Kalro (Social Pukar,Co-Founder). 

Here are her takes on life, cancer and love. Some serious and some humorous!



On Perseverance

Neerja admits-

“Challenges may come my way. But, there is always something that falls into my hand. Means that this is not the end, it’s just a bend!” 

Flash back to 2004. Once again, Neerja was diagnosed with breast cancer! This time instead of fretting over the unfair rules of life she accepted the bitter fact like a mature adult and entered the battle of life, with a cool-head. All her friends mulled over the news with agony. But Neerja maintained her composure and reassured her friends, “If I could conquer it once, I can do it again!” True to her words she did it again!  

On Positive Thinking

Change your mindset, change your life. Neerja inspires others with her buoyant outlook-

 “I never concentrated on the fact that I had no energy. Rather than seeing the actual chaos, I’ve seen the light at the end of the tunnel.”

Neerja Malik is an optimist who strongly believes in the power of positive thinking. Forty days after the birth of her twins, Neerja was down with high fever. To be precise - 105 degrees! No natural remedies worked. Her health became critical to the extent that her doting mom and sister constantly slapped her face to stop her from falling asleep. Else, she would have slipped into coma. During this painful phase, Neerja used positive affirmations which kept her going.  Temperature and drama, both were high! A teary-eyed Punjabi mother told Neerja, “You can’t go away now your twins are so young.”  Like a mantra Neerja kept reciting the lines-  ‘I’m not the body, I’m the soul and the soul feels nothing’. Her mother thought Neerja was delivering her farewell speech!

On Love and Distance 

Distance means so little, when someone means so much.

Neerja Malik confesses-

“People who are away, suffer much more.”

She jokingly says, “My poor husband has empowered me, mostly by remote control!” Mandeep  (husband) has been her pillar of strength who managed everything in Chennai very well. Neerja has been blessed with supportive in-laws and parents (Kamla & Benoy Bhushan) who went great lengths during the darkest hours of the day.

On Helping Cancer Patients

No one can question Neerja’s  zeal  when it comes to counseling cancer patients. She cheerfully says, “The more I do for my patients, the happier I am!” She adds-

“It’s not that I meet patients because I give them joy. It’s that meeting and helping them gives me joy!”

On Spirituality and God

In spite of all the challenges life has thrown at her and the tragic moments she has witnessed, God-loving Neerja always praises, “God is great!” In fact, she believes it is the spiritual power that helped her sail through the turbulent times.

Our Social Call

Neerja Malik is a woman with a golden heart. She’s a changemaker who has embarked on a journey to inspire you! ‘In three words I can sum everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.’

  1. ARE YOU AWARE THAT MODERN NATURAL HERBAL MEDICINES OF THIS GENERATION NOW PERMANENTLY CURE DRUG RESISTANT DISEASES LIKE; HSV/HERPES, CANCERS, HIV/AIDS, ERECTILE DISJUNCTION/ IMPOTENCY, DIABETES FOREVER WITHOUT A POSSIBLE COME BACK OR AFTER EFFECTS?
    It wonderfully worked for me;
    At first I was a bit skeptical about this Natural cure for herpes and other similar medicines. Discovering people with similar symptoms who are treated and cured by Dr Utu both on medias and in social medias on daily basis motivated me, so I contacted him for help!
    At first, I was a bit curious about this possible cure, but! I don't want to be left out without giving it a trial, so I contacted him as well.
    Some hours later he replied me, then he asked me some private questions, of which I honestly answered, I told him how I have lived and suffered with this disease and how much I will do anything to get rid of it. He assured me of total cure after taking his herbal medicines. It was even more easier than I expected. Also I never even imagined to get my parcels within five working days, but to my greatest surprise my parcels was brought to my doorstep by the end of the second day. I collected the parcel which I followed all the instructions as he had directed. Just as I was told "four weeks medication " my medicine finished in four weeks exactly. From week one of my medication I started noticing positive change in health. and in week two I could tell much more differences and I was so eager to even testify of life again in me.
    I patiently continue medication till the last bottle which was then week four. I was the first person the next day in the clinic for lab test. Not even a particle of herpes was found in my system when I collected my result. Knowing I'm now herpes negative at this point I proceeded to inform my doctor, he doubted me, that day he gave me a month appointment to be closely monitored. It's my health so I waited more six Months and again i went for 'lab test' in a different clinical lab.
    This time the result was still the same as the previous one. Also since this year I have been living my normal life and am still herpes free no symptoms and even till now no cold sore or outbreak. As a result of this herbal cure in my life and my family at large, I can boast of doctors today who through me, now uses African Traditional Roots and Herbs to TREAT AND CURE patients that are, CANCERS, HERPES, PARALYSIS, and HIV successfully today. Many are still ignorant of this I know.
    Contact Dr Utu directly today on; "drutuherbalcure@gmail.com" to free yourself from emotional stress and become healthy again
