Pink is everywhere this month.
But wearing pink was never the whole point. Starting conversations and breaking myths is what truly matters.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let’s challenge common misconceptions around breast cancer.

Because understanding the facts, recognising the signs, and knowing when to seek medical advice can make all the difference.

Awareness begins when myths end.

That steaming cup of cutting chai straight off the stove? Here’s what happens beneath the surface.

It’s not the tea, milk, or spices, but the temperature. Drinking beverages hotter than 65°C repeatedly can damage the delicate lining of your oesophagus. Over time, this repeated injury and inflammation may increase the risk of abnormal cellular changes.

The solution isn’t giving up chai. Just wait 3–4 minutes for it to cool before your first sip.

Patience is protection. Share this with your chai partner who loves it boiling hot!

Awareness isn’t about fear. It’s about knowing your body and feeling confident about when to seek help.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, remember that awareness goes beyond lumps. Pay attention to changes, stay informed and speak to a healthcare professional if something seems unusual.

A little awareness can go a long way.

Don’t be one of the crowd. Stand out by taking 2 minutes for yourself.

Breast health starts with awareness. Take just 2 minutes each month to know your body, notice changes and make self-checks a habit.

Because standing out can mean something as simple as taking care of yourself when others don’t.

Did you know your family history could hold important clues about your breast and ovarian cancer risk?

BRCA is a gene that helps repair damaged cells and keep our body healthy.

Who should consider a BRCA assessment?

* Individuals with a family history of breast, ovarian or related cancers
* Breast cancer patients, especially at a younger age
* Ovarian cancer patients
* Individuals with multiple family members affected by cancer
* Anyone concerned about inherited cancer risk

Scenarios where in you should avail the consultation:

1) I am a breast cancer survivor and tested BRCA positive. Could my children, siblings, or other family members also be at risk?

2)My maternal aunt and a close family member had BRCA-positive ovarian cancer. Could I be at risk too?

3)My grandmother was BRCA positive Breast cancer. At what age should I consider BRCA assessment?

4)Many women in my family have had breast or ovarian cancer. Should I understand my inherited risk?

5)I don't have symptoms, but cancer runs in my family. Should I still get assessed?

6)I have been diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age. Should I consider BRCA testing?

7)If you have already undergone a mutation test, please carry your report for a more personalized consultation.

Every to***co habit has a trigger. What's yours?

A smoke with chai and friendsx
A drag during stress

“Just one” during gaming

Smoking feels stylish
A belief that to***co kickstarts the day

Sometimes habits don't begin with to***co.
They begin with triggers.

This No To***co Day, don't just break the habit. Understand the trigger.

Chai break → Talk more, smoke less

Stress → Pause and reset
Gaming break → Stretch and move

Quick break → Take a short walk

Change the trigger. Change the habit.
Action starts today.

To***co is linked to cancers of the mouth, food pipe (esophagus), and lungs.

If you have symptoms that don't go away, pay attention:

* Mouth ulcers lasting more than 2 weeks
* Persistent cough for more than 2 weeks
* Breathlessness or change in voice
* Difficulty swallowing

Don’t ignore persistent symptoms.

Book a consultation with experts at your nearest M|O|C Cancer Care Centre and get the right guidance.

Taking iron tablets but your hemoglobin is still low? The issue might not be the medicine—it could be your diet.

In this reel, Dr. Ashray Kole, Consultant Hemato-Oncologist and BMT Physician at MOC Cancer Care & Research Centre, explains why iron supplements sometimes don’t work as expected.

Certain everyday foods can actually block iron absorption:

Tea and coffee reduce absorption significantly
Milk and dairy interfere due to calcium
Whole grains and bran contain phytates
Even spinach has compounds that limit iron absorption

Simple changes can make a big difference:
✔ Avoid tea, coffee, and milk around the time you take iron
✔ Pair iron with vitamin C (like lemon water or orange juice) to boost absorption

The key message: If hemoglobin isn’t improving, it’s not always the medicine,sometimes it’s what you eat with it.

In this reel, Dr. Ashray Kole explains why it happens, the symptoms to watch for, and why identifying the underlying cause is just as important as treating low hemoglobin.

Watch till the end to understand the science behind this often-overlooked condition.
