Gabit Saleh’s Story: A Racer’s Fight NPC with ECCT Beyond the Track

Gabit Saleh was known to many Malaysians as a motorcycle racing champion — a two-time FIM Asia Supermoto winner and the first Malaysian to compete in the Supermoto World Championship in Italy. On the track, he was fast, focused, and fearless. But in 2022, life threw him into a different kind of race — one he never expected.

It started with a lump on his neck. At first, Gabit didn’t think too much of it. Then his vision started getting blurry in one eye. He even raced in Italy with one eye closed just to get through the competition. Slowly, people around him noticed something was off — his eye started looking slightly crooked. That’s when he finally went for a check-up.

The diagnosis: Stage 3 nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC).

Gabit started radiation and chemotherapy, the standard treatment. It was tough. He lost a lot of strength, had to stop working, and the treatment caused pain in his tongue, making it hard to speak. But the worst part? After all the pain and side effects, the tumour didn’t shrink much. It was heartbreaking.

Then came a glimmer of hope — from a neighbour. This neighbour had survived cancer with only using ECCT, a cancer therapy without chemo or radiation. Seeing Gabit struggle, his neighbour encouraged him to give it a try, to Fight NPC with ECCT.

Desperate but hopeful, Gabit started ECCT — and stuck with it. Slowly, things began to change. His tongue, once painful, got better. He could speak clearly again. His strength came back. His double vision disappeared. Even though his eye still looks a little crooked and he has a bit of trouble judging distance, Gabit feels like himself again.

Today, Gabit is back doing what he loves. He returned to the world of motorcycles and now also runs a coffee van with his family. He laughs, works, rides — and lives like a normal person again.

Gabit’s story is one of strength, second chances, and never giving up. He may have been a champion on the racetrack, but his real victory was beating cancer and getting his life back — thanks to ECCT and his own fighting spirit.
