Cancer is no longer a disease limited to old age. Across India, more people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s are being diagnosed with cancers once seen only in older adults.

Our changing lifestyles, long work hours, fast food, stress, and pollution, are quietly fuelling this rise. What makes it worse is that early symptoms like fatigue, pain, or unexplained weight loss are often dismissed as “just stress” until it’s too late.

Awareness is our strongest defence. Regular check-ups, mindful living, and open conversations about health can save lives.

The fear of screening often comes from stories, not facts. Most tests are quick and simple and can detect cancer before symptoms even appear. Early detection not only saves lives; it makes treatment easier and recovery stronger.

Don’t let fear delay your check-up. The few minutes you spend today can protect your tomorrow.

When was the last time you truly paid attention to your breath? Your lungs work tirelessly, filtering smoke, pollution, and invisible toxins every single day, often without you noticing.

Protecting them isn’t just about avoiding ci******es; it’s about making conscious choices that support long-term health. Step outside for cleaner air, get regular check-ups, and never ignore a persistent cough or breathlessness.

Protect your lungs today, so your tomorrow can be stronger and fuller.

Cancer doesn’t just affect the body; it also disrupts the mind and sleep that keeps you strong. Quality sleep is more than rest, it’s how your immune system recharges, your mind resets, and your body heals. When sleep suffers, recovery slows, energy drops, and resilience weakens.

If you or your loved one is undergoing treatment, prioritise sleep as part of your healing. A calm mind and rested body are powerful allies in recovery.

This Bhai Dooj, let’s celebrate the bond of love and protection with a promise of good health. Just as a sister’s blessings guard her brother, regular health check-ups and awareness safeguard our lives.

True care goes beyond rituals; it means encouraging our loved ones to prioritise their health, go for screenings, and stay mindful. Because protection isn’t just emotional; it’s preventive.

Cancer treatments can be lifesaving, but they may also weaken your bones over time. That’s why protecting bone health is an essential part of survivorship.

Include calcium and vitamin D-rich foods in your meals, stay active with weight-bearing exercises, and schedule regular bone density checks. Small, consistent steps can make a lasting difference.

Survivorship isn’t only about adding years to life; it’s about living those years with strength and confidence.

The most underrated prescription doesn’t come in a bottle; it begins with a single step. Exercise can be a powerful ally in cancer care, helping patients rebuild strength and balance both body and mind.

From gentle walks to light stretches, every movement counts. Regular activity boosts energy, lifts mood, and can even support better treatment outcomes.

It’s not about running marathons, it’s about moving with purpose, one step at a time. Let movement be your quiet medicine.

Cancer doesn’t just affect the body — it deeply impacts the mind. 💭
In India, where mental health resources are already limited, cancer patients often face an additional silent battle: emotional distress, anxiety, and depression.

Holistic care means healing beyond medicine, through early distress screening, psycho-oncology teams, and caregiver support.
Because peace of mind is just as vital as treatment. 💙

When Cancer Strikes the Body, the Mind Often Follows A cancer diagnosis requires more than medical treatment; it demands psychological resilience. In India, where mental health infrastructure is limited, cancer patients frequently face another fight: the battle within.

10/10/2025

Cancer doesn’t just affect the body; it challenges the mind in ways words often can’t capture. The fear of treatment, uncertainty about the future, and the emotional toll can be just as overwhelming as the physical journey.

Behind every patient is also a carer, quietly carrying their own share of stress and exhaustion. Yet, mental health often remains the part of cancer care that goes unspoken.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s change that. Because true healing begins when we care for both body and mind.
