The mammography bus had come to her neighbouring village near ­Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, to screen women for breast and cervical ­cancer. “I was asymptomatic, hence did not feel the need to go through such a medical procedure. But following an awareness campaign by Rotarians, I went for the screening inside the ­diagnostic bus. I was shocked to know that I had an early-stage cancerous lesion on the cervix.” She then underwent a minor surgery to remove the lesion at a hospital in Coimbatore. Ditto is the case of Rani (58), her friend, who was detected with a ­tumorous lump in her breast at the Rotary camp.
