August 16, 2022: Garima Greh, Home to transgender @ MITR Trust, Delhi: After our months of back and forth via video calls with Dr Sakshi Magmain, Shivangi Jain, and emails across different time zones, Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) and United for Transgender Health (UTH) finally got the chance to substantiate the session on Cancer Awareness and Prevention and I could conduct the workshop at Mitr Trust. The Trans community were not aware of the Breast Cancer screening, and also about the symptoms of Breast Cancer and other cancers that can be risk factors with the hormonal treatments. I had heartfelt discussions with the Garima Greh members on the emtional and health challenges faced by the Trans community.

So grateful to UTH for the collaboration and cannot be more thankful to Rashmika Das for introducing me to UTH team.! I was so touched meeting everyone at Garima Greh. So wonderful meeting Shivangi Jain from UTH in-person and thankful to UTH for connecting me to Garima Greh family. So touched with the love and affection, will treasure it forever till we meet again.

On behalf of the Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) team, I am extremely thankful to Dr. Bondana Das, Dr. Aditi Chakraborty, Dr. Ahimik Biswas, Mrs. Nabarupa Roy, and all the members, Silchar Medical College and Assam Cancer Care Foundation, for supporting the suspicious cases (mostly cervical, and breast cancer in addition to other cancers) we bring in for Cancer screening and treatment management from the Breast Cancer Hub adopted villages in Cachar, Assam. Thank you so much for your help and guidance. Thank you Sanalembi Devi (Project coordinator, BCH adopted villages in Cachar, Assam) and Ranjita Singha (BCH Field staff) for accompanying me with your time.

A brief about Breast Cancer Hub's project in the villages BCH adopted: Breast Cancer Hub adopted 11 villages in Cachar, Assam, India, since February 2020, for door-to-door Cancer screening-awareness, Diagnosis, Treatment Management Aid and Counselling. We go to each house, generating awareness, teaching Breast Self-Exam, Self-Oral Screening, discussing signs & symptoms of all other cancers, and providing BCH Early detection cards (All Cancers) for each family. From no awareness, now each & every family has become aware of symptoms of Cancers after our penetration. We monitor & manage each suspicious case individually, case by case. We take the suspicious cases to Cachar Cancer Hospital (CCH), or Silchar Medical College (SMC), for further screening, diagnosis, and treatment and we are thankful to SMC & CCH for their support. The hospitals provide treatment at subsidized rates under the government-aided schemes but the remaining treatment expenses, BCH covers. The villagers are daily wage earners living a hand-to-mouth existence without any savings. On many occasions, there is no person in the family to accompany the patient to the hospital, eventually delaying or skipping treatment. BCH team takes care end to end, from providing transport, to purchasing medicines, and diagnostic tests, which are not covered under the government schemes. BCH team assists the patients by taking them to the hospital, helping with income certificates, AAA cards, hospital registration, patient communication with the doctor, accompanying them in the full diagnosis process, buying necessary medicines, and dropping them home with follow-ups & counseling. BCH provides treatment aid to the poor and needy and before giving the Aid, our project Coordinator Sanalembi Devi conducts background verification of the economic status of the family of the patient. We take accountability for each case, helping them from beginning to end. The 11 Villages BCH adopted since February 2020: Sundari Part-I, Sundari Part-II, Sundari Part-III, Sundari Part-IV, Boali (Boalihaor), Sentcatherine, Bhorakhai, Bidruhipar, Bhaurikandi-I, Bhaurikandi-II, Dharamkhal

21st July, Mumbai: Launch of BCH Mumbai Cancer Thrivers Chit-Chat with Tea (in-person meet once a month): Hats off to our five Bravehearts who will be leading the efforts from our Breast Cancer Hub Family - Anjali Gadoya, Krishna Mistry, Vibha Rani, Jyoti Lalwani, and Sujata Kanchan. The concept is created to continue our togetherness, meeting each other in-person to share our thoughts & oneness through fun chit chat with tea … forgetting our stress & living the moment! No words to express how I felt to meet our Breast Cancer Hub Support family (Cancer Fighters) from Mumbai on 21st July for our first in-person Meet & Greet, after all these years of conversation over the phone. Thank you Anjali ji and Mahesh ji for opening your abode for our Meet with your kindest gestures and so grateful to each of you who came traveling from all across. You all are my family & your love keeps me going…. The memories I will cherish in this lifetime & beyond! Thank you for all the food, made with all your love. We missed those who couldn’t make it due to challenging situations.

Thank you, Sandeep Roy and Julie Daugherty, for supporting my travels in Mumbai.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Dr Lopamudra Das Roy (Founder - President)
