Cancer is a journey that tests every dimension of a woman’s life — physically, emotionally, and mentally. While treatment focuses on survival, the true challenge often begins after treatment ends. For many women, post-cancer life brings questions of self-esteem, body image, and emotional well-being. At Astitva Foundation, we believe that every survivor deserves not only life but also the confidence, dignity, and strength to live it fully. 💖
🌷 Our Mission: Beyond Medical Recovery
Our work goes beyond medical treatment. Astitva Foundation focuses on holistic post-cancer recovery, addressing emotional, physical, and social needs of survivors. Our mission is to empower women to reclaim their lives, providing them with tools, resources, and a nurturing environment to rediscover self-confidence.
Supported by Laxmi Narain Foundation and in collaboration with AIIMS Delhi’s Department of Surgical Oncology, we are proud to introduce specialized services for breast cancer survivors that help women heal both inside and out.
💕 Specialized Services for Survivors
🔹 Breast Prosthesis (Post-Mastectomy Support)
A mastectomy can deeply affect a woman’s body image and self-confidence. Our breast prosthesis program offers high-quality, comfortable prosthetic solutions, tailored to each survivor’s needs.
Each fitting is done with privacy, care, and dignity, helping women restore posture, symmetry, and self-assurance. Astitva Foundation ensures that every survivor feels whole again — physically and emotionally.
🔹 Arm Stockings for Lymphedema Prevention
After surgery or lymph node removal, many women face lymphedema, a painful swelling of the arm that can impact daily life.
Our medical-grade compression arm stockings prevent swelling, improve circulation, and support smooth recovery. Along with proper guidance on use and exercises, this service empowers women to take control of their recovery journey.

🌺 Emotional Support and Community Building
Healing is more than physical recovery. At Astitva Foundation, we recognize the importance of emotional support, guidance, and community for survivors.
We provide a safe space where women can share experiences, seek advice, and connect with others who understand their journey. By fostering this community, we help women rebuild confidence, regain independence, and find hope for the future.
🌸 Our Core Principles
Empower Survivors – giving them the tools and confidence to rebuild their lives.
Restore Dignity – offering compassionate care that respects each woman’s journey.
Ensure No Woman Stands Alone – creating a network of support, understanding, and empathy.
Every survivor deserves to feel whole, respected, and supported, and every program at Astitva Foundation is designed with this vision in mind.
💖 A Journey of Hope and Renewal
The scars of cancer are not only physical; they are emotional and psychological as well. But at Astitva Foundation, we believe that strength and hope are stronger than any scar.
Through our dedicated services, survivors are reminded that they are not defined by their illness but by their courage, resilience, and spirit.
Together with AIIMS Delhi and Laxmi Narain Foundation, we are creating a movement — one where survivors reclaim life, regain confidence, and embrace hope.
