Diwali is one of the most vibrant festivals that is celebrated by Indians across the globe. It is a festival of lights that brings families together to observe the auspicious day which marks victory over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. Sadly, for a 21-year-old Reddit user who has been battling stage 4 colorectal cancer since 2023, he is ‘quietly winding down’ as he watches ‘lights’ that are already ‘showing up in the streets.’
In a recent Reddit post, the 21-year-old man shared a heartbreaking post titled, ‘Cancer won guys, see ya !!!’
‘Doctors Have Told Me There’s Nothing Left To Try’
He further revealed in the post, “Hey everyone, I am 21M, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer back in 2023. After more chemotherapy sessions and hospital stays than I can count, the doctors have told me there’s nothing left to try. I probably won’t make it to the end of this year.”
Detailing about the ongoing preparations for the auspicious festival of lights, he writes in the post, “I’ll miss the lights, the laughter, and the noise. It feels strange to watch life go on while mine is quietly winding down. I know that next year, someone else will light diyas in my place while I just exist in a memory.”
“I don’t really know why I’m posting this. Maybe just to say it all out loud to leave a small trace before I fade quietly into whatever comes next,” he concluded.

The post left many Redditors devastated, with many wishing a miracle for the 21-year-old man. One user commented, suggesting the 21-year-old man hang in there, while sharing tips to make the most of whatever he has. He wrote, “I hope a miracle happens, and that your cancer has a dysfunction, and that everything works out! Hang in there, man. And simultaneously, make the most of whatever you have. Go for nice, long evening walks. Enjoy the birds singing in the morning. Listen to some nice Music: whatever gets you shaking your leg. Enjoy a nice brunch. Have mimosas. Have two. Enjoy the company of your family & friends. And all that jazz. Just make the most of it, man. Meanwhile, I really hope a miracle happens. You have all of Reddit rooting for you. So you are not alone. Let that cancerous son of a b**ch be defeated! Best wishes again!”
One user commented, “Dear God, if miracles happen, please let it happen to this guy.” Another replied, “Bhai, I can’t imagine what you’re feeling right now, but I will pray for you.”
A fourth Redditor wrote, “Don’t know if this is the right thing to say here, but do you have any last wishes? If so, can we do something to help you make it happen? Prayers for you and strength for your whole family. May God Bless You.” The OP replied, “Thank you, bhai.”
