Initiated by HCG – The Specialist in Cancer Care & Pink Hope, Cancer Support Group, on the eve of Cancer Survivors Day, this unique platform gave a chance to cancer survivors to celebrate survivors day through Self V (Self Video).Cancer survivors were urged to take a self-video of up to 60 seconds duration, capturing the story of their struggle and conquest over cancer. By uploading it on facebook.com/hcghospitals, these stories become an ideal encouragement of hope for many patients fighting cancer and break the stigma attached to the disease.

We believe that the Self V program has made a tremendous difference in creating awareness that cancer can be managed & overcome with the right way at the first time.”
 
 Dinesh  Madhavan , Director Health Care Services said “ We conceived this idea of the selfv – survivor stories  by creating a video format of the cancer survivors  sending out a message on social media of survival , hope & triumph & break the stigma around cancer .This is just the beginning , the  winners stories will be made to  a book that will be available globally  shortly  to be titled “ The Survivor Stories".
 
Chief Guest and India Cricketer Harbhajan Singh said, “Awareness is the key and it is essential that more survivors speak about the disease, in order to instill confidence in those that are still battling with cancer today. It is important that they know that there is life after cancer and it can be treated and managed.”
