"Each and every patient of mine is heroic, and their journey needs to be celebrated.... They always come out on top, and it's inspiring. That makes me wake up in the morning and go to work." – Vijayalaxmi Chadachan, SCS Principal Physiotherapist In a recent radio interview with Melanie Oliveiro, SCS celebrated the incredible strength of two breast cancer warriors and the role of rehabilitation in their recovery. Their stories are a powerful reminder of the courage and resilience it takes to triumph over cancer. 🎙️ Tune in to hear how rehabilitation helps patients rebuild their lives: https://lnkd.in/g3HpwqFZ Thank you CNA for the opportunity to share about our survivors' brave journeys!

The Singapore Cancer Society's 60th Anniversary, themed "Celebrating Many Lives, One Legacy," was a powerful tribute to our six-decade journey of resilience, hope, and impact. From courageous cancer warriors to dedicated partners, the evening highlighted the incredible people who make our mission to Minimise Cancer and Maximise Lives possible. We were honoured to have our Guest of Honour, Mr Seah Kian Peng, Speaker of Parliament, join us in celebrating this milestone. The event was not just a reflection of our past achievements but a renewed commitment to the future. Here's to building on this legacy for the next 60 years. Together, we move forward with strength and purpose. Join us in shaping the next 60 years of impact. Every donation helps us continue our mission to support cancer warriors and their families.
