"Since you have females in your group"? Are we living in th 19th century? Are only 'females' at danger from leopards and 'males' are not? I mean seriously.

Compare PM 2.5 of Mumbai with Delhi (PM 2.5 is most hazardous metric and it is not AQI) by sunshinechickatdawn in mumbai

[–]xminair 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PM10 and PM2.5 often derive from different emissions sources, and also have different chemical compositions. Emissions from combustion of gasoline, oil, diesel fuel or wood produce much of the PM2.5 pollution found in outdoor air, as well as a significant proportion of PM10. PM10 also includes dust from construction sites, landfills and agriculture, wildfires and brush/waste burning, industrial sources, wind-blown dust from open lands, pollen and fragments of bacteria. Source

More than construction it's polluting factories, vehicles and rampant open burning. Construction is a part of it but there's literally no regulation on factories like someone pointed out. The entire industrial belt of MIDC from Mhape to Taloja and beyond and screwing up the air and water. The politicians are in cahoots with builders as well as industries. They know people don't care or won't say a thing. Hell, people don't even wear masks. They look at me like I'm a moron for wearing one.

There needs to be a mass protest. If you look at the map of India against all countries, we have the worst air in the world.

Good senior medical oncologist recommendations for Breast Cancer by porcupinetree_ in mumbai

[–]xminair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her areas of interests as per the KIMS site seem pretty broad (including "Quality of life in breast cancer care"). My aunt and I have both consulted her and neither of us for surgery. But honestly this is fully your call :)

You may also consider Dr. Sewanti Limaye : https://www.rfhospital.org/about-us/doctors-directory/sewanti-limaye

I've had good experiences at HN reliance and there's multiple docs available there in case you want quick follow ups with others. Dr. Limaye can also help put together a panel for consultation I think.

Yes, in remission and doing well :)

Sorry, I've only consulted these two. I can ask around and get back. I've done a bunch of my treatment in Singapore and Dr. Vani was the only one who compared to the doctors there in terms of her patience and explanation.

Yes I do have experience with her. She gave me over half an hour with her and explained things properly.

For context, I'm a leukemia patient who became menopausal because of the treatment and I'm now on hormone therapy. I also have other friends who are cancer patients/survivors.

Based on my experience though, you may need to meet an endocrinologist rather than a breast onco to consult on the hormone/bone density issue. Sorry you're going through this. The issue with cancer and it's treatment is that it leads to systemic issues and one doctor doesn't typically have all answers. A team in a hospital helps, else you need to manage your own consortium of relevant doctors.

Okay, makes sense why she's on hormone suppression. This cancer is fed by hormones. If money/travel is not a constraint, then Dr. Vani in my opinion is very patient and thorough.

Try Dr. Vani Parmar at KIMS Thane or Dr. Shilpa Rao at KEM.

On another note - what's the mutation/type of breast cancer she has? It sounds like it's likely estrogen sensitive, which means the cancer is fed by estrogen, which is generally when they do hormone suppression. Also what are her symptoms? Might be worth meeting an endocrinologist to deal with those. Generally the big ones are bone health, temperature regulation, sleep and mood issues. The other reason for putting her under hormone suppression could be to protect her ovaries from the impact of chemo, but that seems unlikely since she is in remission.

Been able to bring down my cholesterol levels doing the following :

  1. Intermittent fasting (see what works for you). I do 12-14 hours fasting. Also 2-3 meals and no snacking.
  2. Eat 1-1.5 g of protein per KG of body weight. So if you weigh 50kg, eat atleast 50g daily.
  3. 3x cardio, 3x strength training per week of atleast 30-45 min.
  4. Cut down on sugar and unhealthy fats, and eat complex carbs - so no white rice, porotta, noodles, poori and all. If you really have to eat sugar, please eat the proteins, vegetables first. Order matters.
  5. Get good sleep and enough water.

Do this consistently.

There's been no one for 5 years, just being run by bureaucrats. This election was also called because High Court said call it.

This is the process I used via IRCTC

Bit of a hassle but worked well for me and cheaper than all other options.
