Can a normal health checkup miss cancer? Which symptoms should you get checked? And how do you know whether surgery is the right choice?

Dr P. Jagannath, a cancer surgeon with over 40 years of experience, joins Dr Aditi Govitrikar to answer the questions families face when cancer becomes a possibility or a diagnosis. He explains why people delay getting symptoms checked, why a routine health package can give false reassurance, and why more treatment is not always better.

In this episode, they discuss:

• Warning signs such as a lump, unusual bleeding, unexplained weight loss and a persistent cough
• How to support someone with cancer without overwhelming them
• When the risks of surgery may outweigh its benefits
• What to ask a doctor before agreeing to treatment
