Amidst the grim statistics lies a glimmer of hope in the form of survivors who are willing to pass on their knowledge, survivors like Jayashree Mahesh More. Jayashree’s courageous journey from diagnosis to recovery serves as a beacon of inspiration. Motivated by a fervent desire to raise awareness and empower women in their fight against breast cancer, Jayashree bravely steps forward to share her story through a phone call with the CancerMitr team. 

Take Sattyajit Pattnaik, for example. He went for a simple oral screening, and that move changed his whole story – a reminder that sometimes, a small step can make a big difference in the fight against cancer. He shared his story with the CancerMitr team through a phone call as he knew that his story could make a difference.

Meet Umesh, a vibrant 65-year-old who proudly identifies as a Mumbaikar yet carries with him his connection to his roots in the village of Kinhai in the Satara district.

His father then chose to migrate to Mumbai, where he eventually opened a cafeteria, becoming the cornerstone of familial support.

As Niyati journeyed, a persistent back pain emerged, impossible to ignore. Familiar with health issues like kidney stones, she initially thought it was the usual discomfort. However, this pain, unlike any she’d felt, disrupted her ability to go about normally.
