Once feared as an ‘unconquerable demon’; the demon of breast cancer could surrender and be vanquished with the latest medical treatment along with a strong ‘dose’ of positivity and optimism. I present this Novel, a Literary Nonfiction to shed light on the latest medical technology and research in breast cancer. This Novel delivers factual scientific information in a story format through the dialogues of seven fictionally created characters – Anila, Tanuja, Malti, Kiran, and Sheila – all five being cancer victims, Dr. Sudha, a cancer specialist, and Shantabai, a psychotherapist.
Cancer does not discriminate! The five women, coming from different regions of the country, different walks of life, different familial backgrounds and different economic strata, when diagnosed with breast cancer, learn to develop a strong fighting spirit. In their uphill battle, they never lose the sight of their goal until they annihilate the evil. They form a group and, as though on a crusade, work together to establish a Support Centre where they help to inculcate a strong thread of hope and confidence among hundreds of other women, who are also breast cancer victims like themselves, in their climb to recovery.
