HITAISHINI
is there to hold your hands if you are suffering from breast cancer
or any other affiliated problems. We are there to tell you that
cancer is not the end of the road, nor is it contagious. |
The
Lotus motif on the cover symbolizes life, serenity, and
inner peace. A cancer survivor epitomises all these and
more, for she is the model from whom other patients draw
courage, hope and faith, |
