Rajshri Deshpande urges women to prioritise breast check-ups and shares how cancer is still a taboo in today's society

Further in the conversation, Rajshri Deshpande shared that it’s unfortunate that many of her female friends had not got their breast check-up. She urged women to prioritise breast check-ups as they are necessary for them after they reach the age of 35. She also spoke about women in the village who don’t spend much time getting mammography done. Rajshri opened up about the taboo still prevalent in today’s society related to cancer. She was quoted as saying:

"It’s unfortunate, I called so many friends of mine, nobody had got their breast check-up done, which is necessary for every woman after the age of 35. Then the next thought was ‘let me check the facilities in the villages’. The women there are doing a lot of daily chores, they won’t come and spend so much time to get mammography done. Let’s just normalise this! It’s such a taboo that people send condolence-type messages like ‘Oh my God, so sorry’. But nowadays, with the medical facilities, atleast cancer gives you time to take some action."

"I’ve finally found the courage to tell my parents that I have been diagnosed by Infiltrating ductal carcinoma (NOS) a grade 1 Breast cancer. Now it’s time you all know. We fortunately caught this early in a routine checkup which gave us a fighting chance. Tons of tests and surgery felt like a rollercoaster ride, but trust me it was everyone’s love and warmth that carried me through.

With everyone’s support I feel am ready to take on the world. Now, I’m recovering beautifully and soon heading home from the hospital."
