At a glance
The DietXP breast cancer support group is a free online group for adults in India living with or after breast cancer, and for the people who care for them. It is hosted by Gauri Pillai and Fathimath Naeema Nasreen. You join once by email, then choose Yes or No for each session.
Three separate choices
Each choice stands on its own. Saying No to one session never takes you out of the group.
Sign up once with your name and email, then confirm your email. You will get group emails only.
FreeFor each session we email an invitation. Press Yes to take a place or No to skip this one. You stay in the group either way.
FreeOnly if you want it. Individual nutrition or emotional support is a separate service with its own fee. The group never depends on it.
OptionalHow it works
The steps play by themselves. Use Back and Next to go at your own pace.
Fill in the short form on this page: the name you would like us to use and your email. No account, no password, no medical reports.
We send you an email. Open it and press Confirm. Then a welcome email tells you what happens next.
When a session is arranged, we email you its topic, date, time, who it is for and who is hosting. Sessions are announced one at a time.
Press Yes to take a place, or No if you cannot come this time. A page opens so you can check your answer before you confirm it, and you can change it later.
After a Yes, we email your private joining link and a reminder. Take part your way: talk, type a question, or simply listen with your camera off.
What you can expect
The hosts welcome everyone, keep time and make sure each person who wants to speak gets space.
Hear from others who understand what diagnosis, treatment and life afterwards can feel like.
Food and appetite, feelings, body changes, appointments, family and everyday questions to take to your care team.
Speak, type or just listen. Keep your camera off if you prefer and step away whenever you need to.
Inside a session
A planned outline. The hosts may adjust it for each group, and you can leave or take a break at any time.
The hosts say hello, explain their roles and remind everyone of the privacy guidelines.
Say a few words about yourself if you like, or just say hello in the chat. Listening is fine.
One host shares a short topic, for example eating when appetite is low, or coping with waiting for results.
The longest part. Members share and ask questions while the hosts guide the conversation and keep it kind and respectful.
A few general points to remember and a chance to suggest topics for next time. Feedback is always optional.
Your hosts
Two DietXP experts host every session together. Some sessions may also have a guest doctor or specialist, named in the invitation once confirmed.

About NaeemaWho can join
Adults aged 18 or over living in India who are newly diagnosed, in treatment, living with metastatic breast cancer or adjusting after treatment. People of every gender are welcome.
Adult family members and caregivers can sign up too. They are invited to the sessions marked for caregivers, so patient sessions stay a space for patients.
It is not medical care, a personal diet plan or an emergency service. Questions about your own treatment belong with your treating team.
Group guidelines
Every member agrees to these when they join.
We do not record the sessions. We take privacy seriously and ask every member to do the same, but we cannot control what other people do.

No. We email an invitation for each session and you choose Yes or No each time. Saying No to one session keeps you in the group for the next one, and you can change your answer later.
Each invitation says who the session is for: people with breast cancer, caregivers, or both. If you need someone beside you for support or to help with the call, tell us when you sign up and we will talk it through with you privately.
Some sessions may have a guest doctor or another specialist for a set topic. The invitation names a guest only after they have confirmed.
No. The group offers support and general education. Questions about your own treatment or diet belong with your treating team. If you want one-to-one help from DietXP, that is a separate service with its own fee, and the group never depends on it.
The group is free and shared: members support each other, guided by the hosts. One-to-one sessions with a psycho-oncologist are private, paid and planned around you. You can read about them on our emotional support page.
We are preparing the first sessions now. Join the group and we will email you the topic, date, time (IST) and hosts as soon as a session is confirmed.
When you join, tell us if you prefer English or Hindi. We use these preferences to plan sessions, and each invitation says which language that session will use.
No. We do not record the group, and members are asked not to record, take screenshots or use automatic note-taking tools. We take privacy seriously and ask every member to do the same, but we cannot control what other people do, so share only what you are comfortable sharing.
We use your name and email only to run the group: to confirm your email, send invitations and manage your answers. We do not add you to product offers or newsletters and we do not share your details with other members. You can stop invitations, leave the group or ask us to delete your details at any time.
Every email has a link to manage your membership. You can pause invitations, start them again or leave the group. Saying No to one session is different: it only changes that one session.
No. The group and our inbox are not watched around the clock. In an emergency in India call 112 or go to the nearest emergency department. Tele-MANAS on 14416 offers free mental health support by phone, 24 hours a day. For urgent questions about your treatment, contact your treating team.
