Love for dancing helps woman beat breast cancer :- After Aruna Jogalekar was diagnosed with breast cancer seven years ago, this 68-year-old turned to dance to lift her spirits; after beating both the tumour and subsequent heart blockages, she now helps others tackle their ailments with the help of hobbies
the former electrical engineer, who gave up dancing 35 years ago, once she began working and got married.
Then, in 2008, her world came to a halt when she found a suspicious lump in her breast, which would eventually be diagnosed as breast cancer. Instead of letting the disease weigh her down, however, she took it as an opportunity to revive her old passion, and took up various forms of dance Odissi, ballet and ballroom dance. In fact, one of the dance teachers who taught her the Odissi form, was none other than her family doctor
With support from her family and doctors, Jogalekar simultaneously kept up her battle against cancer and eventually triumphed over it after a successful surgery the same year. Seven years since the cancer diagnosis, and two years after she underwent an angioplasty procedure for heart blockages, Jogalekar continues to fulfil her passion for dance.
