New Delhi: Apollo Cancer Centres (ACCs) has launched ‘CanWin’, a cancer support group aimed at creating a shared space for patients, survivors, caregivers, oncologists, and volunteers. The initiative is In recognition of National Cancer Survivors Month.
According to ACCs, CanWin is a brand-agnostic platform focused on providing emotional support and community-based healing. The initiative aims to bring together various stakeholders in the cancer journey—including psycho-oncologists and healthcare professionals—to offer guidance, empathy, and shared experiences.
The group is intended to be a space to talk, listen, and heal, whether someone is recently diagnosed, undergoing treatment, or living beyond cancer.
The initiative was launched with a storytelling session led by cancer survivors, who shared personal narratives of their journeys.
The event also included professional storytellers who mentored participants in using their stories as a tool for healing and connection.
Oncologists attending the launch emphasized the improvement in cancer survival rates across age groups, especially with early detection and advances in treatment. They noted that initiatives like CanWin contribute to emotional recovery and enhance quality of life during and after treatment.
It is stated that the CanWin support group will offer monthly gatherings, storytelling therapy, survivor-led workshops, expert Q&A sessions, and volunteer opportunities.
