Priyantha Kumarasinghe, 32, who has been diagnosed with lung cancer which doctors think has spread to his neck and spine, plays a video game as he rests at a cancer care transit home 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
