I buried my favourite Sister in law yesterday after a long battle with breast cancer. Wadau, ogopeni. If there is anything you can do to avoid this beast do it, when it knocks on your door, it destroys.
pole ndugu, we are all fighting it one way or the other.
Pole Mulosi. What do cancer patients actually go through? I’ve never talked to any. What’s more painful, physical pain or financial drain?
Poleni
I took my mom to see her ailing friend at the hospice when I was in school. My frien, the pain was evident. It hit me mpaka the nurses enquired whether I was the son.
ok cancer i say is a silent killer waiting for that oppotune time to strike.first is to find out your familys genetic tree and see if anyone died of any disease.this is why angelina jolie did a mastectomy because her mother and grandmother died of the disease so it was highly probable she had it.so if you check your inlaws genetic tree you will find someone had it or some will have it.second people avoid simple techniques like a self breast exam,had she done it probably angekua by now.have a nhif that support full body examination that involves thorough body tests once year.with early detection it is easier to quel cancer.
No idea, I have a feeling my Sister in law died of stress, she lost her left breast in 2016 and was on chemo the entire period till Dec 2017, she believed she had survived but when she collapsed a month ago the doctors at Agha Khan Kisumu told her the cancer had spread. Then she knew she was going to die and there is nothing she can do about it.
I buried my aunt last year September, it was tough. Hers was detected early, (breast) fought for close to two years and she was declared cancer free. After three years it was back with full force, she didn’t last for six months…
Shocking and scary.
Shocking and scary.
Pole baba, my previous boss also lost his siz in law hivi tu
Pole, cancer can strike when least expected and to anyone, I lost my grandmother to liver cancer in 2012, she had never drunk alcohol in her life
Pain… Especially chemo makes it more painful. Your skin darkens, all your hair falls of… I mean all your hair. Hadi lashes. You avoid the sun bc it burns.
Financial drain… It doesn’t matter how rich you are,it will hit you with no mercy.
Alienation. Yaani your family and friends want nothing to do with you.
If you have no reason to hold on to… You’ll give in. You need support and love. People to be there to help and encourage you.
Ukona bahati tunaomboleza.Otherwise ningeambia mekanika mlevi @introvert afanye mambo.
my faith looks up to thee thy lamb of calvary saviour divine,hear me while i prax,continue
pole, cancer is one of those conditions that at times seems to tease one, we buried a neighbor early in the year due to lung cancer and it was just sad, he had gone to india some years back and was told that it had cleared, only for the same to resurface a couple of year down the line and its like it came back with a nasty vengeance.
Cancer sucks. Poleni sana.
Kuna this cartoonist xkcd whose wife also has cancer and he sometimes writes about their journey.
Anasema treatment kills all cancer cells it can find, so you become a “survivor”, but the only way to know if you “survived” is to wait for years and see if it recurs. You are almost never out of the woods.
Save for the alienation part, this is EXACTLY what my dad went through between 1994-1999. Horrible disease I tell you.
What people need to understand is that cancer cells are alive. There is nothing greater than the instinct to survive. So when you go for “'Treatment” and you are told its cleared… … .
Pole Man, May She Rest in Peace…
