Breast cancer is not witchcraft



It was on may 2023 when my step elder sister asked me to have a look at her breast because she was feeling pain and the breast was swollen. She is a widow and did not go to school so she believes in traditional ways of treatment.

When I looked and touched the breast One was hard as if there was a stone inside and the other one was normal. I was shocked but I kept quiet for few seconds then I told her to go to the hospital as soon as possible and she agreed to go to the hospital the following day. After three days I went back and I found her house alone and and she told me that she went to the hospital and the doctor took a small skin for examination and she is waiting for the results. The following day I travel to our Kenya capital city Nairobi for our world pulse meeting when I came back and went to see her she was in pain and she told me that she was taken to a which doctor by her brother because she was bewhiched and that breast woond can not be treated in hospital. After that I called my Kenya world pulse chair person and she advised and referred me to another hospital. Let's go for cancer screening as soon as possible.
