Cancer survivor Lisa Ray is all sorts of amazing. The model-actress-author was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the white blood cells known as plasma cells, in 2009. But Lisa Ray has battled the disease and come out the other side, stronger.

In an earlier interview with mid-day, Lisa Ray shared, "I got over with medication in 2010, and was on maintenance therapy. I wanted to go off drugs completely, but two years later, I had a relapse. I saw it as a sign, that I needed drugs and something else. Because in cancer, no one ever talks the talk of nutrition. I went to a retreat in Florida that explores how nutrition can reverse disease. So, suddenly, you have an instruction manual for your body, like you would for a gadget. That was a big takeaway."
