Strength is more than muscle—it's the ability to move, connect, and live with dignity.

On **World Sarcopenia Day**, let's raise awareness about muscle loss, a condition that often affects people living with cancer, chronic illnesses, and older adults. When identified early, sarcopenia can be managed with the right combination of nutrition, physical activity, symptom control, and supportive care.

In Palliative Care, every step matters. Our goal is to help patients stay as active, independent, and comfortable as possible—because improving quality of life is just as important as treating illness.

Together, let's recognize the signs early and support strength at every stage of care.

From a small village in Chhattisgarh to the global stage of ASCO in the USA—this journey has been driven by a passion for learning and a commitment to improving the lives of patients facing serious illness.

I am deeply honored to receive the International Development & Education Award 2026 from Conquer Cancer – The ASCO Foundation.

This recognition belongs not only to me, but also to my mentors, colleagues, patients, and families who have been part of this journey. It inspires me to continue learning, growing, and bringing the best possible palliative and supportive care to those who need it most.

Grateful. Humbled. Motivated.

Not every emotional pain at the end of life is “depression.”
Sometimes, it is fear. Sometimes, grief. Sometimes, the search for meaning, dignity, and connection.

Palliative care helps patients feel heard, supported, and understood — beyond medicines alone. Because healing is not always about curing, but also about compassion, presence, and quality of life. 💙

Palliative Care is often misunderstood as end-of-life care.

In reality, it is about improving quality of life for cancer patients at every stage of treatment.

From managing pain and treatment side effects to addressing emotional distress, palliative medicine helps patients live with greater comfort, dignity, and strength throughout their cancer journey.

Because cancer care is not just about treating the disease — it is also about caring for the person.
