World Lung Cancer Day | 1st August
Every breath is precious. Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, but early detection can save lives.
🚭 Know the warning signs: • Persistent cough lasting more than 3 weeks • Coughing up blood • Chest pain • Shortness of breath • Unexplained weight loss
⚠️ If you smoke or have a significant smoking history, don't ignore these symptoms. Speak to your doctor about whether low-dose CT screening is appropriate for you.
Remember: ✅ Don't smoke. If you do, seek help to quit. ✅ Avoid exposure to secondhand smoke. ✅ Stay physically active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. ✅ Seek medical advice early—don't wait.
Awareness leads to early diagnosis. Early diagnosis saves lives.

Sarcoma Awareness Month 💜💛
Sarcoma is a rare cancer that arises from bone and soft tissues, but early recognition can make a life-changing difference.
Watch for: ✔️ A painless lump that continues to grow ✔️ Persistent bone or soft tissue pain ✔️ Swelling or reduced movement ✔️ Symptoms that don't improve with time
Don't ignore a lump just because it isn't painful. Early evaluation by a specialist can lead to timely diagnosis and better outcomes.
This Sarcoma Awareness Month, let's spread awareness, encourage early detection, and support every patient and family facing this rare disease.
Rare, but not invisible. Early diagnosis saves lives.

Surgery is just the 1st step. Post op care is equally important for a better outcome.
