Pain is the same in all languages – Alpa Dharamshi

Pain is the same in all languages and I have had the privilege to counsel patients in at least eight different languages at ESI hospital Rajajinagar, where I volunteer as part of the Emotional Support group of ICS.

As a counselor I have reached out to patients who are complete strangers, but who have come forward and shared their experiences and pains with me. Indian Cancer Society offers me the best platform to offer emotional support to patients and their caregivers and be part of their journey during their battle with cancer.
