“June being the National Cancer Survivor Month, we have planned to honour and celebrate individuals who have faced cancer and emerged as survivors or warriors. Survivorship is more than just about living after treatment – it’s an examination of the patient’s progress over time, from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. It looks at all aspects of their life, including the physical, mental, emotional, social and financial effects that surviving cancer can have on a person. It serves as a reminder of the strength, resilience and determination that our patients demonstrate every day,” said a senior official of the hospital..
Commenting on the event Dr. Simmardeep S Gill, MD & CEO, Sterling Hospitals said, “Cancer is a long-drawn battle for patients of various age group, the treatment involves the team of doctors, patient’s internal fighting spirit and support of family members to overcome the challenges at various stages. With the RISE AGAIN campaign we are honoring patients’ fightback spirit and encourage them to live better ahead. I am sure this activity will spread the message of positivity within society for other patients who are fighting at the moment.”
Speaking with navjeevanexpress.com, Dr Nitin Singhal, Director – Oncologist, Sterling hospitals, said, “At Sterling, we emphasize the use of advanced technologies such as HIPEC and robotic surgery, while also prioritizing the overall mental well-being of our patients in their prolonged fight against cancer. Till date, we have performed over 3,000 surgeries, and we are proud to honor around 150 patients and their families for their unwavering ‘never say die’ attitude. The Hospital’s holistic approach has combined the best of science and spirituality. This philosophy has led to a collaboration with Brahma Kumaris, incorporating the spiritual support into our treatment programs to aid in patient recovery.”
“While India is emerging as the cancer capital of the world, Gujarat state has earned the ill-repute of oral cancer capital of the world. The prevalence of tobacco chewing among the masses is the major cause of this dreaded disease. Even kids are not spared from cancer. One kid each among one lakh kids fall prey to this disease but their recovery rate is faster than the elders. When science and spirituality join hands it creates miracles among the cancer patients as well as the cancer warriors. In our ‘Rise Again’ campaign, the cancer warriors will share their experience of resilience coupled with the support of their near and dear ones, support groups. They will also the efficacy of latest medical advancements in cancer care,” Dr Nitin Singhal added.
