Priyantha Kumarasinghe, 32, who has been diagnosed with lung cancer which doctors think has spread to his neck and spine, poses at a cancer care transit home where he is staying near Apeksha Hospital, Colombo, Sri Lanka, August 11, 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/Kim Kyung-Hoon
