Celebrities Who Fought Cancer:
1. Lance Armstrong: He is a of 'cancer celebrity' of sorts. We can say this because more people know him for those yellow 'anti-cancer' Live-strong bands than they knew him as a cyclist.

He is the sensational legend who popularized the yellow wristbands.
2. Yuvraj Singh: This star Indian cricketer is one of the latest victims of cancer. It took the cricket crazy nation by shock to hear that their very own Yuvi had cancer. Yuvraj had a rare variety of lung cancer but this lad of 29 took it in his stride and has fought back like a real hero.
3. Lisa Ray: She was a super model in her 20s and a small time actor in her early 30s. At 38, she became popular for her blog, 'The Yellow Diaries' that helped many people cope with cancer. Yes, Lisa Ray has Myeloma which is again a rare variety of bone marrow cancer. She underwent a new kind of stem cell treatment that uses the stem cells from menstrual blood. She is now an ambassador for this debatable stem cell therapy.
4. Robert De Niro: You might be amazed to know that the severe father from 'Meet The Parents' had his tryst with cancer too. He was lucky that his prostrate cancer was detected at an early stage in 2003. This kind of cancer does not have a very high survival rate but De Niro survived both cancer and an ugly divorce!
5. Cynthia Nixon: She was orange haired 'Miranda' from popular soap opera 'Sex And The City'. The daily soap had ended with one of the characters 'Samantha' fighting breast cancer.
