Garima Greh, Home to transgender @ MITR Trust, Delhi

Breast Cancer Screening and Treatment Aid to Garima Greh, Home to transgender @ MITR Trust, Delhi, 15th April 2024: I first visited Garima Greh on August 16, 2022 with Shivangi Jain and eventually, my discussions continued with Kanta ji. I had heartfelt discussions with the Garima Greh members on Breast Health, Screening, the effect of hormonal changes, emotional and health challenges faced by the Trans community and performed Clinical Breast Exam as needed for the members with Breast concerns. On behalf of Breast Cancer Hub (BCH), provided an Aid of Rs. 30,000 for the year 2024, so that the suspicious cases can go for further diagnostic imaging and treatment in the government hospitals, with close follow-up from my side. I was so touched meeting everyone.

I distributed BCH Brochures with the QR code of Breast Self Exam cards in 24 languages & also QR code of Early detection Cards for other prevalent cancers, to download & share in the network with my contact information so that any suspected case can reach out to me. I explained the Breast self-exam through the prototype breast model, and made them examine the model themselves so that it becomes easier to identify lumps while they examine their breasts. In addition, also handed out multi-colored awareness keyrings and bookmarks, as a reminder to perform BSE every month.

Thank you Mr. Sandeep Roy (my husband) for sponsoring my travel to India, and thank you Ms. Julie Daugherty (BCH Board Member) for sponsoring my domestic travel within India. Thank you Ms. Kanchan Bhaya for the accommodation and help in Delhi, truly appreciate.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Dr Lopamudra Das Roy (Founder - President)
