Episode 1 | Breast Awareness & Screening Camp, Morbi 🎀
Awareness becomes stronger when women learn how to understand their own breast health.
👩‍⚕️ In Episode 1 from our Morbi Breast Awareness & Screening Camp, Dr. Ashwini Jasani Modi guides women on breast health and demonstrates the correct process of breast self-examination.
The session focused on helping women:
• Understand normal breast changes
• Learn the steps of self-breast examination
• Recognize changes that may need medical attention
• Understand the importance of timely screening and consultation
Breast self-examination does not replace medical screening, but being familiar with your body can help you notice unusual changes earlier.
🎀 Know your body. Stay aware. Get checked when something feels different.

Day 9 of Pink October is about a concern that can be especially frightening for teenagers. 🎀
During the teenage years, the breasts are still developing, and changes are common.
👩‍⚕️ In this Reel, Dr. Ashwini Jasani Modi explains that:
• One breast may naturally grow slightly bigger or smaller than the other
• A lump may sometimes be a simple benign lump or a fluid-filled cyst
• Breast changes during puberty are often related to normal growth and hormonal changes
• Breast cancer is uncommon in teenagers
• Any new or persistent lump should still be examined by a doctor
For a teenager, finding a lump or noticing breast changes can feel scary. But fear should not lead to assumptions.
The right approach is simple talk to a parent or trusted adult, consult your doctor, and get the concern properly evaluated.
🎀 This Pink October, let’s help young girls understand their bodies with awareness instead of fear.
Know your body. Ask questions. Get checked when something feels unusual.

Day 7 of Pink October should feel educational and reassuring, with the focus entirely on the message rather than hospital promotion.
Breast pain? Does it always mean cancer? 🎀
Not necessarily.
👩‍⚕️ On Day 7 of our Pink October series, Dr. Ashwini Jasani Modi explains that breast pain can happen for different reasons and does not automatically mean breast cancer.
It may sometimes be related to:
• Infection
• Pus or an abscess
• A non-cancerous breast lump
• Other breast-related conditions
The important thing is not to assume the cause on your own.
If you notice persistent pain, a lump, swelling or any unusual breast change, speak to your doctor and get yourself properly examined or screened.
🎀 This Pink October, don’t let fear stop you from asking questions about your breast health.
Awareness. Examination. Timely action.

Does breast surgery always mean cancer? 🎀

No.

👩‍⚕️ On Day 5 of our Pink October series, Dr. Ashwini Jasani Modi, Consultant & Breast Oncoplastic Surgeon, explains that being advised a breast operation does not automatically mean a person has breast cancer.

Breast surgery may also be advised for:

• A non-cancerous breast lump
• Other benign breast conditions
• Certain cosmetic breast concerns

So, surgery itself is not a diagnosis of cancer.

The important step is to understand why the surgery has been advised and discuss the diagnosis and treatment plan clearly with your doctor.

🎀 This Pink October, let’s replace fear and assumptions with the right information.

Clearing common myths about cancer treatment and pediatric care

Common Questions Answered:

1. Papaya Juice for Low Platelets in Dengue?
There is no strong scientific evidence proving that papaya juice or papaya peel increases platelet counts.

2. Can Cancer Patients Eat Sugar?
While cancer cells consume glucose, eliminating sugar completely from the diet does not cure cancer. Every cell in our body requires glucose for energy.

3. Can a Child Return to School After Chemotherapy?
Yes! During chemotherapy, school is avoided because immunity is low and infection risks are high. However, once chemotherapy ends and blood counts stabilize, children can and should return to school.

4. Can Cancer Patients Donate Blood?
No. Even after complete cure and recovery, former cancer patients cannot donate blood. However, they can make a huge impact by raising awareness, fundraising, and supporting affected families.

September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month 🩸

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited genetic blood disorder where abnormal hemoglobin causes red blood cells to deform into a sickle or crescent shape. These fragile cells break down quickly, leading to chronic anemia, blocked blood flow, pain crises, infections, stroke, and organ damage.

Key Facts You Should Know:
🩸 Genetic Inheritance: If both parents carry the sickle cell trait, there is a 25% chance in each pregnancy that the child will have Sickle Cell Disease.
🗺️ High-Prevalence Regions: Central and Western India—especially tribal communities across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, and Jharkhand—face a significant burden.
📊 Screening Impact: Under the National Sickle Cell Anemia Mission, over 7 crore Indians have been screened, identifying more than 20 lakh carriers and over 2.5 lakh people with SCD.
🩺 Management & Care: Early diagnosis allows timely treatment with medications like hydroxyurea starting as early as 9 months, along with vaccinations, regular monitoring, and bone marrow transplants in eligible cases.
🎯 National Mission: India aims to eliminate Sickle Cell Disease by 2047 through widespread screening, awareness, and comprehensive lifelong care.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️

Childhood cancer accounts for 3–4% of total cancer cases globally, but for every child and family affected, the impact is life-altering. Every year, over 300,000 to 400,000 children are diagnosed worldwide, with more than 50,000 cases in India alone.

While survival rates reach 80–90% in high-income countries, timely diagnosis, access to specialized pediatric oncology centers, and complete treatment are crucial to improving outcomes everywhere.

Common childhood cancers include:
🩸 Blood Cancer (Leukemia)
🧠 Brain Tumors
🧬 Wilms Tumor & Neuroblastoma
🦴 Osteosarcoma & Ewing Sarcoma
👁️ Retinoblastoma

Early recognition, timely referral, proper treatment, and ongoing support can save young lives.
