Dorothy is a 31-year-old trained secretary who was working in a law firm in the Middle East until January 2016 when she felt a lump on her breast. Dorothy moved home to Kenya to live with her retired parents and receive treatment.
Dorothy returned to Kenya because she was not able to access medical care in the Middle East. Dorothy stopped working to return home and have a mammogram and biopsy done. These procedures revealed that she had cancer of the right breast; she was recommended a mastectomy.
Dorothy suffers psychological distress due to the thought of having cancer. If not treated, the cancer metastasize and could result into pre-mature death. Dorothy is not able to meet the full cost needed to access medical care, but with $740 she will receive the mastectomy she needs to remove the cancerous cells.
“I want to be treated and engage in cancer awareness and continue working,” Dorothy shares.
