● If this is your night right now — keep going. The story changes.
M.Ch Surgical Oncology — Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai. Nine years and more than five thousand operations across nine specialities. Training that turns panic into a plan, and a plan into a date on a calendar.
● The first thing we do is listen — before any scan, before any big word.
● You will know the whole route before we take the first step.

Chai on the balcony again. Stairs without counting. A follow-up that ends with see-you-in-six-months instead of see-you-tomorrow. Surgery is one chapter; the book belongs to your life.
● Nutrition and physiotherapy begin within hours of surgery — never after a few days.
