“Cancer is curable” say doctors at conference by Kindness Practice Foundation
Oct 9, 2024 – On the occasion of breast cancer awareness month, Kindness Practice Foundation organised the 2nd 360° Cancer Summit in partnership with Sarvasva Health clinics and SL Raheja Hospital. Oncologists, integrative cancer experts and cancer warriors came together to give a strong message – you can prevent and heal from cancer. It is not a death sentence. The event was supported by Rotary Club of Bombay Bandra and Grisu Media Arts.
The hall was full at SL Raheja auditorium as Dr Prasad Kasbekar, surgical oncologist, Dr Bharat Bhosale, senior ecologist, Dr Rachna Chhachhi, integrative cancer expert and Dr Reiyal Goveas, reconstructive surgeon helped the audience understand the various stages of healing Cancer and how it is not just limited to getting surgery and chemotherapy done. “The quality of life of a cancer patient is the most important in giving them the strength to heal,” said Dr Rachna Chhachhi. Dr Reiyal supported her with examples of reconstructive surgeries in head, neck oral and breast cancers, all of which are common cancers in India, give a new lease of life to patients. Dr Bharat was very open and strong about recovery from cancer and he said that that the mind of the patient was the most important in the recovery. Dr Prasad related a case of a patient who was given six months to live but lived for 10 years because he had made up his mind that he will live till the time he gets his daughter married. All the doctors present emphasised two things – 90% cancers are preventable, and as soon as the patient is diagnosed, both treatments are important in achieving cancer cures – oncological, surgical, medical, along with nutrition and mental health therapy. The medical treatments are prescribed as per each case but nutrition and mental health therapy need to begin as soon as the patient discovers that they have cancer. “Family counselling and therapy are equally important as cancer impacts families,” said Dr Bharat.
The summit had two breast cancer warriors as speakers, both of them have had successful outcomes. Roma Kulkarni was just 29 years old when she was struck with breast cancer. She had been married just one year. In an extremely calm and soothing manner, she explained, “I internalised it, it took me a few days and then I decided that I will go with the flow and do whatever it takes to heal. I will not resist anything.” Dr Milu Acharya, a mathematics professor who joined online from Bhubaneswar, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 53. From the moment she received the diagnosis, she began with both treatments together – conventional medical treatment as well as nutrition and mental health therapy. Within a few months she was feeling very few side-effects of chemotherapy and even her doctors noticed her higher energy in comparison to other patients. “It kept me strong, when other patients on chemotherapy came in on wheelchairs, I walked in confidently,” she said.
The summit was attended by cancer patients, cancer associations, people who wanted to know how to prevent and heal from cancer. Many people joined from across the country via zoom to listen to the experts and patients. In totality, over 200 people attended in person and via zoom and the event was broadcast to 600,000 people across the country to create awareness about cancer.
Additional info:
The projected cancer burden in India is expected to rise from 26.7 million in 2021 to 29.8 million in 2025, with the highest burden in the north and northeast regions, as per ICMR. Rise of childhood cancers is becoming significant, and 8-year data from 96 Hospital Based Cancer Registries report a considerable proportion of patients with lung, gall bladder and prostate cancers already metastasized at the time of diagnosis.

Providing Financial Freedom through Online and Offline Platforms: Educating 15,000 Students Across India and Abroad
Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India]: Achieving financial independence means having enough income, savings, or investments to live comfortably for life, meet all obligations without relying on a paycheck. This is the ultimate goal of a long-term financial plan. Rahul Kumar Joshi and Shailendra Maurya are helping many achieve this goal by educating them about financial security and making them aware of scams that promise quick profits or doubling money in a short time.
Rahul shares that he has been working in the financial sector since his engineering days. After completing engineering in 2013, he began offering free financial freedom awareness sessions through YouTube and webinars.
Through these free webinars and his YouTube channel, many people who had fallen victim to cyber frauds joined his sessions. This experience showed him the need to raise awareness about financial fraud and market scams among everyone. This led to the founding of The Trading Institute in 2018. This institute guides people on financial planning, creating emergency funds, making various types of investments, and provides knowledge about the stock market and national and international markets.
Shailendra adds that the institute offers online and offline knowledge sessions covering the security market, money market, money management, risk management, and asset maintenance.
Moreover, these knowledge sessions will soon be conducted in schools, colleges, and other venues to reach a broader audience and raise awareness.
Let’s become financially independent and contribute to building a strong, empowered society.
