On behalf of Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) , we distributed brochures outlining all of our 100% free grassroots services and my contact information, ensuring that anyone encountering a suspicious case can reach out to me directly for treatment guidance and support. The brochures also included QR codes for easy access to BCH-generated resources:
Breast Self-Exam Cards for Her and Him, in 27 languages
Life-saving Early detection cards for other types of prevalent cancers
Details on our one-of-a-kind “BCH Know Your Breasts” App, available in 27 languages and for all genders-the first of its kind
Direct contact info for those seeking guidance or noticing symptoms
To amplify engagement, we shared color-coded wristbands and keyrings:
Pink for breast cancer in women
Blue for breast cancer in men
Purple for all cancers and all genders-symbolizing unity
We also handed out bookmarks featuring ribbon colors of various cancers, promoting awareness, inclusion, and solidarity.
We shared details about our handcrafted Patient Care Packages, lovingly created by BCH’s dedicated volunteer seamstresses, so that anyone can reach out. Each set included:
A heart-shaped pillow with a pocket for hot/cold packs for post-surgery relief
A Chemo Port Car Seat Belt Pillow for travel comfort
Soft hats for those experiencing chemo-related scalp sensitivity
Handmade cards with original, uplifting artwork
These essential care packages go beyond physical comfort-they embody hope, love, and unwavering support.
Together, we continue to raise awareness, provide support, and most importantly-save lives.
With gratitude,
Dr Lopamudra Das Roy , on behalf of Breast Cancer Hub Family
