Let Faith overcome Fear

Sri Ramakrishna Institute of Oncology and Research (SRIOR) conducted a valedictory event in light of Breast Cancer awareness for which the month of October is known for. The event started with a short address by Dr. P.Guhan, Director & Chief Medical Oncologist at SRIOR who said, I intend to place standees with pictures of animated characters in the awareness video and weblink for animated videos at different places like malls, restaurants across Coimbatore.

The Valedictory Event saw a few Breast Cancer survivors come forward willingly to share their experience about the dreaded disease. Overall, the talk was an eye opener for all especially women who often consider the entire procedure as a taboo. The survivors spoke about their sweet, emotional and bitter experiences right through the Chemo procedure and today they are all back to normal life after the Chemotherapy.

Dr.Guhan said, a toll free number 1800- 266 -8150 and a helpline number 7048921322 would be set up. The contact time for the above numbers will be between 9 A.M. -5 P.M.  A counseling person would answer all the queries of the public on breast cancer and its treatment were the highlights of the event. The event also saw presence of Surgical Oncologists- Dr.Barghavi and Dr.Karthikesh along with Radiation Oncologists- Dr.Vivek, Dr.Krishnapriya, Dr.Karthika and Dr.Nageshwara.
