About Us

My name is Shourya Vyas and in the photo with me is my mom, Shaloo Malani.

In December 2022, my mother had a biopsy and other tests. In January 2023, when the biopsy results came back, we found out that she had cancer.

 

When we found out, we thought about having my mom's sister come to the United States, but due to VISA issues, it was impossible for anyone to come from India. So, Mom immediately went to India so that she could be with her family for treatment.

My mom's treatment began at the end of February. She had first consulted Dr. Narendra Rathore [Radiation Oncologist] at RNT Hospital in Udaipur, Rajasthan. Based on that, she then did her surgery from HCG Cancer Center, Ahmedabad under Dr. D. G. Vijay [Surgical Oncologist]; then had chemotherapy at Geetanjali Hospital, Udaipur under Dr. Ankit Agarwal [Medical Oncologist]. My aunt, Dr. Kavita Mundra, and these doctors were my mom's "saviors" and we were very blessed to have them. During mom's treatment, at home all of us would help her with one thing or another. It was a difficult time, but with the support of my dad's office colleagues, my school, and all of our family and friends, we were able to get through it. However, the biggest thing was my mother's strength, determination, and willpower. It was because of her persistent efforts that she was able to fight cancer and win.

 

We came back to the US in July 2023, and I started building Cancer Simplified just that school year. Since then, I updated the website consistently, drawing data from oncology databases, personal patient accounts, and doctors' advice. I reached out to the HCG Aastha Oncology Center and MB Hospital in India -- which would not have been possible without the connections and assistance of my uncle, Engineer R. K. MundraI was able to work with the Methodist Richardson Cancer Center in the United States to collaborate with doctors and advance my work in outreach, with the kind help of Dr. Jenevieve Hughes and Frances Leung. I connected with the Asian Breast Health Outreach Project (ABHOP) in the DFW area to help with outreach events, specifically for the Hindi-speaking community.

 

Our hope is that we can use this website to help others so that they too can overcome cancer.

We want to use personal experience and gathered knowledge about cancer to build a platform that help others.
