Outcancer

Cancer is the dreaded word the world over. It is the big C as they call it.If you or anyone you know---a friend or a family member, has been affected by cancer then this blog is for you.Additionally, if you are someone who wants to know more about cancer or would like to do something about the cause of cancer then this is for you too.

As for me, I was impacted by cancer at a very young age of just four as my father died of cancer at that time and my life was changed forever.

Over the years, a large number of people have played a very significant part in my life and there were some special "few" who did their level best to help and support and there is an overwhelming sense of gratitude that I possess towards them all.

As I grew up and finished my MBA from IIM,Ahmedabad, I worked in a variety of industries and then in 2006 I finally found my calling.I finally decided to do "Something" about the cause of cancer and make a direct positive difference. Therefore, alongwith two oncologists friends, I founded International Oncology (www.internationaloncology.com)----- a cancer care and research company that is dedicated to set up a chain of world class cancer centres in India and other regions of the world.

We have commenced operations in our first centre at Fortis Noida where we are setting up a state-of-the-art comprehensive cancer centre including a Bone Marrow transplant unit.

This first edition of my blog is to introduce myself to you and I look forward to all the help and support from a wide range of people. Each and every one of you who feels about the cause of cancer and wants to do something about it., is very welcome to send suggestions and comments as to how you would to be involved and what specifically would you like to do?

We can all make a difference and let us all try our very best.

Good luck and God bless
