Pink Hope: Smile Your Way Through Cancer | Cancer AwakensCancer AwakensCancer Awakens

If you thought that cancer is nothing but
death, hopelessness, turmoil and
heartache, think again!
Cancer patients all over the world today have
the opportunity to join support groups. Now
you may wondering what support groups are or
you may laugh and ask, “what can support
groups do to help?”
What are support groups and how can
they help you?
Support groups are small groups of cancer
patients, cancer survivors, experts and
counselors who mutually benefit from each
others presence through a variety of activities
and lectures.
I had visualised a big hall with long-aisles,
formal seating and a stage-podium, with
experts delivering boring speeches. Not at all! I
found that support groups are warm and
friendly meetings with a couple of talks by
cancer thrivers, lots of fun games, yoga
sessions and much more.
Pink Hope: a Cancer Support group in
Bangalore!
If you live in Bangalore and have been recently
diagnosed with cancer or if you are a cancer
thriver, here’s the place for you. A support
group called PINK HOPE run by HCG Oncology
(HealthCare Global Enterprises Ltd)
Five brave women Dr. Keerti Tiwari, Ms. Heena
Patel, Ms. Girija Nadagoudar, Ms. Sashi Venkat,
Ms. Roopa Venkatesh and Ms. Devika Bhojwani
(Mumbai) from different backgrounds were
united in May 2009 with the common goal of
helping woman suffering from breast cancer.
These five women are themselves cancer
thrivers and hence realized that their support could play a valuable role in the lives of women recently diagnosed with breast cancer. And thus Pink Hope – a beacon of hope and confidence for women suffering from breast cancer – was born.
