We believe there is so much we could learn from each other's experience within the Family. At times we are so busy, we may forget to connect deeply and care for each other. This show is an attempt to capture conversations between friends&family members that are entertaining and at the same time engaging. We believe our sharing may put a smile on your face and remind you to stay connected/reconnect with your loved ones in whatever way possible. In case you have any interesting anecdote/incident that could be shared here or you would like to be hosted here on this show, please drop a note.

B-Shorts - A Family Show - Season 2; Episode 7 - What the bleep do we know about Cancer? (Part 2)

'To be the beacon of hope against cancer' is the motto of Indian Cancer Society (ICS).

In this episode, we have representatives of ICS - Ms.Kanchan Bannerjee (Honorary Secretary) and Dr.Guru Suhas P (Manager, Medical Screening) joining our discussion.

As per a report from National Cancer Registry Programme, as many as 1.39 million people in India (1,392,179) had cancer in 2020 and it is projected to increase to 1.57 million by 2025.

It is estimated that 1 in 9 Indians will develop cancer during their lifetime. The projected 5 most common cancers in 2020 for males (lung, mouth, prostate, tongue, and stomach) constitute 36% of all cancers and for females (breast, cervix uteri, ovary, corpus uteri, and lung) constitute 53% of all cancers.

The time to take action is RIGHT NOW!

Join us as we discuss interesting topics such as -

1) Debunking myths about cancer

2) Mental health and support for cancer patients and family members

3) Dealing with side effects of cancer treatment and medication

4) How organisations and individuals can contribute to 'Rise Against Cancer'

and much more
