VIOCE - Empowering Cancer Patients

Hi Friends,

Often, when we hear the term cancer treatment, the image that comes to our mind is of pain, side effects, and suffering.

That is important but not true in all cases. In our today’s episode, we have Dr. Bharat Vaswani who is a Medical Oncologist practicing in Hyderabad, sharing his experiences with conventional as well as recent cancer treatments.

He also shared the basic principles to be followed while undergoing cancer treatment.

I hope this helps.

See you soon.

Jai Hind

Dear Friends,

I recently got an opportunity to chat with Dr. Bhalchandra Kashyapi who is a practicing Urologic Cancer Surgeon in Pune.

He shared that twenty years back, if there were a tumor in the Kidney, the whole Kidney was removed. But, now the concept is completely revamped. 

Now we say if it is kidney cancer, save the Kidney as much as possible. The basic unit of the Kidney is Nephron. In each Kidney, there are approximately 10 lakh nephrons. The technical term for this is “Nephron sparing surgery”, and in simple terms, we call it partial nephrectomy. We have to remove some part of the Kidney, not the whole. 

Listen to the complete episode to know more about kidney cancers and life after kidney cancer.

I'll see you soon with another interesting episode. 

Till then, take care!

Hi friends, sometimes, we meet a few people in life and they inspire us so much that we get a kind of shot of inspiration when we’re feeling down.

When we talk about a dreaded disease like Cancer, awareness, and inspiration are very important. 

I’m glad to have Dr. Chanchal Goswami with us with whom we’re going to learn a lot about head and neck cancer and two beautiful, real-life inspiring stories.

I hope you’ll enjoy the episode.

I’ll see you soon.

My dad always used to say that doctors are the strongest pillar of society. The same has been proved time and again and especially during the covid19 times.

I have recorded a special message for them that I'm sure you'd like. You can share the same with any doctor you know if you wish to salute their spirit through this message.

I'll see you soon.

Dear Friends,

Kidneys are one of the most important organs in our body yet, a little less talked about. Kidney Cancer often is diagnosed accidentally. That means Kidney Cancer may remain asymptomatic for a long time or maybe misunderstood as something else primarily because the concerning symptoms are quite common in other medical conditions.

On the occasion of World Kidney Cancer Day, I had the privilege to speak with a renowned Medical Oncologist – Dr. Krishna Prasad, who beautifully explained most of the relevant aspects of Kidney Cancer including, sharing the feelings during Kidney Cancer. 

I learned a lot about it and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the conversation too.

See you soon.

Friends,

Cancer is a disease that by and large does not come by invitation as in we may not get many symptoms initially. And, the experience is new, never seen before, and comes with a lot of anxiety and negativity. There are many questions in the mind seeking answers; right from why me? to how will I deal with it?

I have brought to you a brand-new episode where I interacted with Dr. Ghanashyam Biswas who is addressing the queries related to the Psychological impact of cancer in patients and caregivers, straight from the heart.

Hope this helps!

See you soon.
