Before the diagnosis, Yuvraj said, life was "happy golucky".

"I used to think chemotherapy has spoilt my body, Ithought drugs made me worse, but it was good for me (in the end). It wasdifficult... I was not sure whether I will survive but I was positive that Iwill come out of it," he said.
He added that cycling legend Lance Armstrong (who survivedtesticular cancer and went on to win Tour De France seven times in a row), wasan inspiration.
