Priyantha Kumarasinghe, 32, who has been diagnosed with lung cancer which doctors think has spread to his neck and spine, has his head massaged by a relative at his aunt’s home in Homagama, Sri Lanka, November 10, 2022. Kumarasinghe started receiving treatment earlier this year just as Sri Lanka’s economy went into free fall. Amid a crippling fuel scarcity and weeks of unrest, Kumarasinghe said he was unable to travel between his home and Sri Lanka’s main cancer hospital for treatment. “If I had been able to get treatment properly during June, July and August there is a good possibility I could have reduced the lung cancer,” he told Reuters. “Because that was not possible that may be the reason why the cancer has grown.” REUTERS/ Dinuka Liyanawatte
