Support Group Meetings 2014

The foundation holds support group meetings for women with cancer who are financially supported by WCI on the first Friday of every month. Moderated by Dr. Jalali, Dr Sirohi and Mrs. Devieka Bhojwani with the help of social workers from the Tata Memorial Hospital, the meetings were conducted in Hindi, Marathi and English in an especially reserved room at the hospital.

The meetings provide an opportunity for patients and their families to ask questions about their cancers, their treatment, and the side effects of their treatment and address any other concern, in an informal setting. In this forum, patients also get a chance to interact with doctors, social workers and each other in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere giving them the much needed psychological support as well as valuable advice and insights.

These meetings have become a great success with the group growing from 50 to over 100 patients. A great bonding and sharing takes place where the women, along with their care givers and their families attending, get emotional support and professional advice as part of this unique forum.
