The past year while all of us battled the novel coronavirus, I lived with the added burden and fear of cancer.
Cancer care and treatment during a pandemic is hard, very hard. During my frequent visits to the hospital, the innumerable procedures, therapies, tests, diagnostics, the uncountable surface contacts, I could see the virus just about everywhere. In the month of December, we counted the number of hospital visits from May 2020, till December end â 61 days. On those 61 days we had some interface or the other with a hospital or a diagnostic centre.
