As we have learned from Dr. Jain that Lung Cancer is one of the biggest cancers and is majorly preventable.

However, the treatment of lung cancer has evolved over the period of time and today, survival in the majority of Lung Cancer patients has increased significantly compared to the previous decade.

In today's episode, we have discussed the available treatment options in Lung Cancer.

Keep the faith, keep fighting.

Hi Friends!

The cancer journey is a very different one compared to any other disease. The simple reason for that is - Cancer being a customized disease (as we've discussed in earlier episodes) requires a customized approach.

The same disease in multiple people reflects differently and may require different treatments.

No one predicts getting a diagnosis of cancer hence the news comes as a shocker and we get utterly confused and worried. 

In many of the cases, patients fight cancer, bounce back and turn out to be a much better than their own earlier versions.

In this episode, we have discussed how cancers are treated and what are the advancements in the recent past.

I hope it helps.

We'll see you soon.

Cancer is not just another disease, it's a battle in itself.

It not only impacts us physically, financially, or socially but emotionally.

But, when we're mentally strong, we can face anything in life.

In the majority of the cases, mental strength comes from clarity.

In today's episode, we have discussed the things that every cancer patient and caregiver must keep in mind while going through cancer.

I hope it helps.

Our life turns 180 degree when we become parents.

Ek ladki jo ice cream ke liye crave karti thi, kai mahino ya kai baar kuchh salon tak ice cream nahi khati kyunki uske bachche to thand na lag jaye. 

Ek carefree ladka jo ghar ke kaamon me contribute nahi karta tha, bachche ke diapers clean karta hai, use ghumane le jata hai etc etc.

When we become parents, we develop emotions for our children and we become more complete. Now when a few of us get to know that their child is suffering from a disease like cancer, they shatter. 

There are a lot of myths around childhood cancer in our society and there is Hope!

Today, we have discussed about cancer in children, how to react and how to deal with it when we have a child around us battling cancer.

We'll see you soon!
