breast cancer support

Alka Ohri Foundation

Foundation Story

Alka was a loving mother, daughter, sister, wife, and friend, exuded warmth and generosity, embracing life with zest, passion, and devotion. A true warrior — bold, strong, and caring.

In 2018, she was diagnosed with Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer (MTNBC HER2–). She spent nearly five years undergoing intense treatment for this illness before passing this February.

Triple-negative breast cancer accounts for 10 to 20% of all breast cancer cases and is known as a more aggressive type of tumor. Because of its faster growth rate and higher risk of metastasis, most patients require aggressive set treatments that can significantly impact a person's quality of life.
