Challenges of a Trans Woman: Case Report on Mental Health and Risks of Reproductive Cancers with Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy: We are excited to share that our Research work got accepted for Oral presentation at the International Conference on The Myriad Facets of Women: A Celebration of the Extraordinary, March 1-2, 2024, at Jain (Deemed to be University), Bengaluru India.

I could not be more proud of Anubha Gupta (BCH Research scholar, pursuing her Masters Biology from KU Leuven, Belgium), for leading the efforts and also presenting the work online in an eloquently articulated manner.

Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) has been working for the trans communities in India over the last few years. We have seen the ground reality where trans individuals still experience prejudice and stigmatization. and we aim to revolutionize the social stigma, with care and acceptance, with changes in healthcare policies, inclusive of cancer screening of Transgender populace.

Thank you,

Dr Lopamudra Das Roy (Mentor)

Message from Risha and Ruchi..

“In April 2023, our mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. This news was devastating for our family. However, we were lucky it was diagnosed at Stage 2 due to her awareness of breast cancer. After noticing a lump, she immediately took action. While she went through harsh treatments, we felt helpless, unable to do anything. We understood that early detection and cancer awareness is much needed.

One of our friends was going through a similar situation in his family, and he took steps to donate to the cause. This inspired us, and ‘Gifts and Hope’ was born. We started making custom decor pieces and selling them through our Instagram, @giftsandhope. We decided to donate all profits towards cancer awareness and research. We were greatly supported by our family and friends and ended up raising a greater amount than expected. 

While deciding on which organization to donate to, we recalled Dr. Lopamudra, whom we met virtually in an awareness session by the NRIVA. We donated our profits to Breast Cancer Hub. 

Thank you to all of our supporters who believed in us and contributed towards the cause via ‘Gifts and Hope.’ Our Instagram handle @giftsandhope”

A huge shout out to the students who came together on September 27, 2023 to work on the BCH service project, helping in the packing of the BCH educational resources and souvenirs which were later given by BCH to the community during the awareness outreaches. The students assembled 500 pink bags, with the following materials provided by BCH: A brochure with BCH’s 100% Free services program information, along with the QR codes to download the early detection cards, and contact information, so that any suspicious case can reach out to me later; a wristband; and a keyring; with a combination color of pink representing breast cancer in women, blue representing breast cancer in men and purple inclusive of all genders and all cancers along with two bookmarks and a thank you note from BCH, with the message of togetherness.

A huge shout-out to our Youth Ambassadors: Shreya Achar, Sanvi Kadekoppa, Snigdha Kavuri, Mythili Kavuri, for volunteering at the event, spreading the message of Early detection Screening of Cancer, discussing the grassroots diverse missions of BCH, by giving out the brochure with the QR codes to download the early detection cards, and contact information, so that any suspicious case can reach out to me later.
