“I don’t treat cancer. I treat the person carrying it.”
– A day in the life of an oncologist

Every day I walk into my clinic, I remind myself:
Cancer is not a statistic.
It’s someone’s father, sister, teacher, best friend.

The scans speak science.
But their eyes speak fear.
And my role is not just protocols — it's presence.

I’ve seen stage IV patients outlive expectations,
And early-stage ones lose hope too early.
That’s why oncology is not just about the disease.
It’s about conversations — tough, truthful, tender.

Here’s what we’re getting better at:
Early detection through AI-based imaging
Targeted therapy that spares what chemo couldn’t
Palliative care that’s proactive, not reactive
Psych-oncology – because the mind needs healing too

But what we need more of?
👂 Listening.
Research.
🫂 Human-first platforms where patients feel seen, not processed.

Cancer is complex. But dignity shouldn’t be.

Let’s bring that into the center of care.

🏡 Supportive Home Remedies During Cancer Care (Oncology)
Cancer treatment can take a toll on the body and mind. While medical therapy remains central, some natural, home-based practices may help patients feel stronger, calmer, and more nourished.

🌿 1. Ginger & Lemon Water
Helps manage nausea caused by chemotherapy. Sipping warm water with grated ginger and a few drops of lemon can soothe the stomach.

🥦 2. Nutrient-Dense, Soft Meals
Opt for cooked vegetables, khichdi, porridge, or soups — they are easier to digest and gentle on the gut. Cruciferous veggies (like broccoli and cabbage) are rich in antioxidants.

🧘🏽 3. Gentle Yoga or Breathing Exercises
Daily breathing or light stretching (as per strength) can reduce fatigue, anxiety, and improve blood flow.

4. Sunlight & Vitamin D
Short exposure to early morning sun helps boost mood and immunity. If indoors, Vitamin D-rich foods like fortified milk, eggs, and mushrooms are helpful.

🌻 5. Herbal Teas (Tulsi, Chamomile)
Support relaxation and reduce treatment-related stress. However, always confirm with your doctor before taking herbal supplements.

💧 6. Hydration
Staying hydrated helps flush toxins, reduce treatment side effects, and maintain energy levels.

7. Emotional Support & Sleep Hygiene
Sound sleep, journaling, family support, and mindfulness are crucial parts of healing.

Disclaimer: These remedies are supportive and should not replace clinical treatment. Always consult your oncologist before making any dietary or lifestyle changes during treatment.

Cancer treatment is never one-size-fits-all — it’s a careful balance between clinical evidence, patient condition, and timing. Take breast cancer for example: Should we operate first, or begin with chemotherapy? Is imaging the priority, or genetic profiling? These are questions oncologists weigh every day.
Let’s hear your take: in a newly diagnosed Stage II breast cancer case, what do you think should be the first step in management?
Vote in the poll and share your reasoning — let’s open up thoughtful dialogue beyond textbooks.💬
