- plays a vital role in addressing the emotional, psychological and social needs of children with cancer and their families. This field has gained significant importance due to its potential to improve the overall well-being and quality of life of pediatric cancer patients.

Had a wonderful learning for two days at . The first pediatric psycho Oncology conference in the country. Lots of learning and networking.

Special mention to Dr and Dr .

Key Aspects of Pediatric Psycho-Oncology:

Understanding Coping Mechanisms:

Pediatric psycho-oncology helps healthcare professionals understand how children and families cope with cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivorship.

Improving Communication: It emphasizes effective communication between healthcare providers, patients and families to ensure seamless care.

Addressing Psychosocial Concerns: Pediatric psycho-oncology identifies and addresses psychosocial issues, such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress, in patients and caregivers.

Developing Supportive Interventions: Evidence-based interventions, like play therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy, are designed to support patients and families.

Enhancing Quality of Life: By integrating psychosocial care into pediatric oncology, healthcare professionals can improve patients' overall quality of life and outcomes.

Importance in India:

In India, pediatric psycho-oncology research is evolving, with studies focusing on:

Caregiver Perspectives: Understanding caregivers' perceptions of psychosocial issues in pediatric cancer patients.

Psychosocial Interventions:

Developing and implementing interventions to support patients and families.

Survivorship and Quality of Life:

Examining the long-term effects of cancer treatment on survivors' quality of life.

Future Directions:

To further advance pediatric psycho-oncology, it's essential to :
Integrate Psychosocial Research: Embed psychosocial research into comprehensive cancer care for children and young people.

Develop Clear Roadmaps: Establish clear guidelines and standards for pediatric psycho-oncology care.

-Leverage Technology: Explore the potential of digital technologies to enhance support and care for patients and families.

A reflection on choice, dignity, and love at life’s end.

The Sounds I Don’t Want.

I don’t want the last sounds I hear to be machines beeping, alarms wailing what my body already knows.

Let me go gently, not surrounded by steel and silence.

.

I don’t want:
– Tubes feeding me
– Needles bruising me
– A cuff marking borrowed time
– My story dictated by strangers

"To die will be an awfully big adventure."
– J.M. Barrie

.

ā˜€ļø Sunlight on my skin
🤲 Familiar hands in mine
šŸŽ¶ Music that soothes
🌸 Lavender on my pillow
🧣 A warm blanket over my feet

I want to feel like , until the very end.

.

Not a sterile room.
Not under harsh lights.
But somewhere soft, personal, and peaceful—
with love in the air, not fear.

"Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it."
– Haruki Murakami

.

That’s why I’ve written it down.
So there’s no doubt.
So love leads, not panic.

I’ve drawn the line between
living fully and surviving mechanically.
Please… honor it.

.

If you love someone
ask them what they’d want.
Write it down.
Speak it aloud.
Have the conversation.

ā€œWhat the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly.ā€
– Lao Tzu

& .

🌿 Let’s talk about dying… so we can truly live. 🌿
Have the conversation.
Give the gift of clarity.
Bring peace closer.

IN .

ā€œIT’s NOT JUST HAIR. IT’s IDENTITY, DIGNITY, and SOMETIMES, COURAGE STITCHED STRAND BY STRAND.ā€

At , we meet many courageous women walking into our space after braving the battle of chemotherapy. They come with hollowed eyes, heavy hearts, and an overwhelming sense of loss—not just of health, but of identity. One of the most common and crushing sentiments we hear is:
ā€œI feel worthless… hopeless… like a shadow of who I used to be.ā€

And often, all of this pain is rooted in something society dismisses as ā€œjust cosmeticā€ā€”hair loss.

But as counsellors, we understand: A WOMAN ’s HAIR IS NOT VANITY—IT’s VISIBILITY. It’s her way of expressing selfhood, culture, femininity, and confidence. When cancer takes that away, it’s not just strands that fall; it’s self-worth that begins to unravel.

One woman once said, ā€œThe hairpiece was transformative. It allowed me to LIVE my life—not as a sick person—but as a loving mother, a caring wife, a whole person again.ā€ That’s the power of a wig. It’s not fake—it’s HEALING IN DISGUISE.

At , when a woman opens up about her grief over hair loss, I listen to her deeply—her fears of being stared at, her worries about looking ā€œabnormal,ā€ her pain of being called ā€œweak.ā€ And then I gently ask, ā€œHow do YOU want to face it?ā€

Not society.
Not your relatives.
YOU.

Then I say this with sincerity and strength:
ā€œYou can reclaim your identity. Start using a wig—not to hide, but to rise. Not for others, but for yourself. Think of what will make you feel good—not what others think about you.ā€

Because when a woman puts on that wig and looks in the mirror, sometimes for the first time after weeks or months, her eyes well up. Not out of sorrow—but recognition. SHE SEES HERSELF AGAIN.

As the saying goes, ā€œSometimes you have to lose yourself a little to find who you truly are.ā€ The hair may be gone, but the soul—the strength, the spirit—is still alive and waiting to shine.

Tragically, we’ve met women who refused life-saving treatment simply because they feared hair loss. The stigma, the labels, the fear of being ā€œseenā€ as sick can be paralyzing. This must change. And we at are here to help make that change happen.

If you, or someone you love, is struggling with the emotional impact of hair loss after cancer treatment, KNOW THIS: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU IN EVERY WAY— EMOTIONALLY, PSYCHOLOGICALLY, and PRACTICALLY.

Let us help you or your loved one RECLAIM YOUR CROWNING GLORY and restore the identity that cancer tried to steal.

Today, I met a remarkable duo - a mother and daughter, both battling cancer. Despite their struggles, they found strength in each other. The mother underwent chemotherapy, while the daughter, having completed her treatment the previous week, sat by her side, offering unwavering support.

Their story touched my heart, and I had the privilege of counseling them both. In the face of adversity, they reminded me of the power of love, resilience, and the human spirit.

Let's celebrate the unbreakable bonds that inspire us to keep going, even in the toughest times.
To everyone facing challenges, remember:

- You are stronger than you think.
- Your struggles are temporary, but your strength is permanent.
- Never give up hope, and never underestimate the power of love and support.

A person affected with shares her journey.....with us at Pehechaan

Imagine you're going about your day, minding your own business, when someone sneaks up behind you...

You feel something press up against the back of your head, as someone whispers in your ear.

"Sssshhhhh.... don't turn around. Just listen. I am holding a gun against the back of your head. I'm going to keep it there. I'm going to follow you around like this every day, for the rest of your life."

"I'm going to press a bit harder, ever so often, just to remind you I'm here, but you need to try your best to ignore me, to move on with your life. Act like I'm not here, but don't you ever forget... one day I may just pull the trigger... or maybe I won't. Isn't this going to be a fun game?"

This is what it is like to be diagnosed with cancer madam. Any STAGE of cancer. Any KIND of cancer. Remission does not change the constant fear I am facing and sharing. It never truly goes away. It's always in the back of your mind.

Please, if you have a loved one who has ever been diagnosed with cancer, remember this. They may never talk about it or they may talk about it often. Listen to them.

They aren't asking you to make it better. They want you to sit with them in their fear... their sadness... their anger... just for the moment. That's it.

Don't try to talk them out of how they are feeling. That doesn't help. It will only make them feel like what they are going through is being minimized. Don't remind them of all the good things they still have in their life. They know. They are grateful.

But some days they are more aware of that gun pressing into the back of their head and they need to talk about it. Offer them an ear. If you cannot, kindly reach out to us.
