Cancer can be cured, prevented and managed. All that is needed is greater awareness of the disease to take preventive measures, said founder of Life Again Foundation and actor Gautami.
Ms. Gautami participated at an awareness meet on ‘breast cancer’ organised under the aegis of Leader People Services in association with Life Again Foundation at Anakapalle near here on Wednesday.
She underlined the importance of regular exercise to keep the body fit and healthy. Stress should be overcome and the mind should be free of tensions. One should consume less of sugar and salt and avoid junk foods altogether. Those affected by disease should not lose hope and they should trust their doctor completely.

A cancer survivor herself, Ms. Gautami suggested proper research on the medications available before going for the treatment.
There are drugs for cancer in both Allopathy and Homoeopathy.
Cancer could strike anyone at any age but early detection was necessary to cure the disease.
