Modern science and advancement in technology are making the impossible a possible feat but it’s still a long road ahead. Today, V Care Cancer Centre (VCCC) organized this program to spread the message that cancer can be defeated. VCCC is a cancer center located in the heart of the city, near Phoolbagan metro station that provides the latest diagnosis and treatment procedures for cancer, with the aim of providing holistic care to patients. It’s one of the best centers in the city that specializes in oncological services but is definitely not limited to it. With the vision of providing the best treatment with a human touch, post-chemotherapy, and post-surgery home care services;  it caters to a complete range of cancer care and is an umbrella of hope.

VCCC focuses primarily on cancer care, it offers a wide range of multi-modal services such as tumor board facilities, cancer vaccination, genetic counseling, immunotherapy, pain management, and other allied services. Started by Senior Oncologist, Dr. Vikash Kumar Agarwal and Health Coach, Vibha Agarwal, who are the backbone of this organization and have been steering forward with the mission, “Together, We Can Cure Cancer.”

Dr. Vikash Kumar Agarwal, senior oncologist, at V Care Cancer Centre, said, “Being in this profession for over two decades, I can guarantee that the only disease that cannot be cured is the disease of pessimism.” VCCC has been the torchbearer of hope and positivity in a world that believes that cancer means an inevitable death and so even in the most harrowing times, one must not forget to smile.

As part of the “Cancer Se Jeet” program, these brave cancer warriors were given a joy ride in a Double Decker bus. The event was flagged off from Karunamoyee & the bus covered a well-planned route following St. John’s Church, Eden Gardens, Princep Ghat to be finally dropped off at the Victoria Memorial. It was spectacular to behold the event with such grace and what sheer joy to have the I-League-winning famous Spanish football Coach Kibu Vicuna be part of this celebration too.
