Dorothy Masasa reflects on her journey through cancer treatment, highlighting the struggle between her health and her pregnancy: 'They told me these two things don't go together.' Despite the challenges, she chose chemotherapy, and after giving birth, she was able to receive essential cancer treatment that was previously unavailable in Malawi. "But because I was going there for treatment, I encouraged myself that I should indeed go and get treatment and that I will come back home healthy and happy."
Masasa underscores the significance of access to local cancer care, noting, 'Malawi has only recently received its first such machines, so other women with cancer may no longer have to travel abroad for treatment.' Her experience sheds light on the broader health infrastructure in Malawi, emphasizing the need for improved oncological services to support local patients in their journey to recovery.
