*Best Diwali Wishes I GOT TODAY! I feel elated!*

This Diwali is extremely satisfying, as I have now a good number of patients saved from getting cancer! The #SAVEtheyouth campaign with its components #knowtobacco & #chotadaana is off-course when a person gets cancer we can still save them, but it would be associated with morbidity, and compromised quality of life.

1. From a Lady Doctor, whose husband was a smoker for the last 22 years. They were celebrating their first No Cigarette Diwali. It had been a frustrating journey for her since her marriage, cajoling, persuading, quarreling, and nagging her husband to quit cigarettes. Not that her husband had not tried, he had but failed multiple times, and lost confidence that he would ever be cigarette free. In one of the meetings, she met me, and with difficulty we got her husband enrolled in the ICanCaRe Tobacco Cessation program. In the first intervention, he reduced the intake but could not sustain it and had a relapse. But the second intervention cycle was successful with intensive sequential therapy and regular motivation. Now it is going to be 4 months and he had not smoked a single cigarette. Feels stronger than before, less stressed, more stamina, more docile, and happier!

2. Second was from Mr. Satyabhan, 42 years old, a security guard, whom I had met at Qutub Minar around 2 years back. During the conversation, I found that he was chewing tobacco. And as a routine, I told him about tobacco and related cancers. Unexpectantly, he was convinced and he came over to the unit at MAX, Vaishali. On check-up, he was found to have a small cancer lesion on the lip, Submucous fibrosis, and dental lesions. He was treated in OPD. Excision of the lesion was done and medicines started. Today, he called me to wish me a happy Diwali, more than that, he was blessing me for saving him and his family.

When people call me back for what I might have done as my routine process, is the greatest gift for me. Their wishes and blessings motivate me to continue to do good for society. My SAVE the youth campaign is saving life, family, and money. I am happy many families will light happy diyas today!
