9 Months of Strength, Hope & Togetherness!
Today’s Survivor’s Clinic was truly special. I can’t believe it’s already been 9 months since we began this journey of healing and resilience together.

This month, our speaker Dr. Sangeetha A, Physiotherapist, guided our survivors through simple home exercises for weight loss after cancer treatment.
What touched me most was the enthusiasm with which every survivor participated—stretching, moving, laughing, and learning. Their energy reminded me once again why this clinic exists: to rebuild life after cancer, one step at a time.

A big thank you to everyone who joined, shared their journey, and lifted each other up.
Here’s to many more months of learning, movement, and community

At the 2nd Asia-Pacific Cardio-Oncology Conference, Kolkata

I had a wonderful time attending the 2nd Asia-Pacific Cardio Oncology Conference in Kolkata on 15/11/2025.

The highlight for me was the session on AI in cardio-oncology. As someone who manages many breast cancer survivors on anthracyclines, trastuzumab, and radiation, I’m excited by how AI could transform the way we:

🫀 predict cardiotoxicity early
🫀 personalise treatment plans
🫀 monitor cardiac health continuously

AI tools in this space are still emerging in India — but the possibilities are powerful. With early detection and smarter monitoring, we can give our patients not just longer survival, but healthier survivorship.

The future of cardio-oncology will be intelligent, proactive, and patient-centred.
Excited to bring these ideas into my practice in Shivamogga.

We are happy to introduce Thermalytics at Sahyadri Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, Shivamogga — a new AI-assisted thermal imaging technology for breast screening.

This non-invasive, radiation-free tool helps detect abnormal temperature patterns in breast tissue, offering an additional layer of support for early detection.
It is especially useful for women who cannot undergo mammography easily, including younger women and those with dense breasts.

Our goal is simple: earlier detection, gentler screening, and better outcomes for every woman.

Proud to bring this innovative technology to our centre — another small step toward strengthening breast cancer awareness and care in our region.

The Power of Walking Your Own Path: Let Them.Let Me
Cancer changes many things — our routines, our relationships, even how we see ourselves. But in this journey, one truth stays constant: we can’t always choose what happens to us, but we can always choose how we respond. This week’s edition of The Cancer Compass is about reclaiming that quiet power — in healing, in prevention, and in peace.

Breast Health: Plastics, Hormones and What Really Matters
Everyday choices shape long-term breast health. This issue looks at how reheating food in plastic containers can release hormone-like chemicals that influence breast cell growth, why glass and steel are safer, and how hormone-targeted therapy works when breast cancer is present. Small habits matter. Knowledge matters more.

Honoured to share my thoughts on CNN News about the importance of early detection in lung cancer.

Lung cancer outcomes improve dramatically when it’s found early — and screening can save lives. If you or a loved one has risk factors, talk to your doctor about getting checked.

Awareness, vigilance, and timely action can change the story.
