Akriti (name changed) at the age of 41 was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She couldn’t believe the diagnosis and rushed to the oncologist for a second opinion.
The medical oncologist during her counselling informed her that she required several rounds of chemotherapy to improve her chance of being cured.
The doctor also told her the potential side effects of chemotherapy that included fatigue, vomiting, weight changes & massive hair loss.
While her cancer could be most likely cured, like any other individual, Akriti didn’t want others to know she had cancer and was worried that her physical appearance & baldness would make it obvious and soon people will come to know about her illness.
She has barely adjusted to all this and accepted the fact of hair loss when to her surprise she was introduced to scalp cooling technology.
