As many as 19 persons were brought to GT Hospital, the sources said, adding that one of them is said to be in a serious condition.

  1. It is better to send good doctors and treatment materials to Mumbai so that we can provide treatment for some more victims and save their lives.

  2. A little care for your caregivers
    There is no denying the fact that patients diagnosed with Cancer go through a lot of physical and emotional stress. However, they are not the only ones going through this ordeal. The family members and close friends who care for such patients undergo a lot of physical and emotional strain too. It is not easy to see a loved one go through so much pain and suffering and still stay positive and smiling. It is impossible to imagine the suffering that caregivers go through since they are physically and physiologically healthy but their souls are crying. However, as a caregiver, if there is one thing that you can do to help your loved one battling against Cancer, it is to take care of yourself along the journey. Imagine what would happen if the primary caregiver of a Cancer patient falls sick due to over-exhaustion or stress? It would just escalate the situation to a completely new level. Give yourself some Tender-Loving-Care (TLC).
