Survivorship

From being a patient to becoming a survivor of cancer, you have come a long way! We are here to help you experience your life beyond cancer with strength and positivity.

Did You Know?
After completing treatment at Shankara Cancer Hospitals, some of our survivors & warriors have built successful careers as best-selling authors, entrepreneurs and professors, bringing a positive impact in the lives of those around them!

What does it mean to be a cancer survivor?

To be a cancer survivor is to find strength in adversity, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. The words “You are CANCER FREE!” from your doctor marks a significant victory, acknowledging the presence of illness and actively confronting it.

Embracing uncertainty
Being comfortable with an uncertain future pushes you to discover your hidden strengths.

Navigating this new phase of life and Embracing Normalcy:

As a survivor, you embrace life with newfound purpose and passion, appreciating every moment and exploring new avenues. While uncertainties may arise, your resilience and support network fuel your journey. The concept of normalcy alters a bit post-cancer, encompassing a balance between medical needs and daily life activities. 

You have weathered the rough seas of cancer with resilience and determination. The strength and support you have garnered for yourself through your network of allies will fuel your purpose going forth.
