Bhekiwe Zwane, a 44-year-old breast cancer survivor, urged Eswatini residents to speak openly about the disease and seek medical attention quickly. She gave her testimony on Friday during an awareness session at the OncAura Wellness centre in Manzini, the Times of Eswatini reports.
Diagnosed in 2022 at the age of 41, Zwane had both breasts removed. Her first symptoms were pain that she attributed to her sleeping position while recovering from a 10-day hospitalisation for Covid-19 in 2021. She also stressed that survivors’ testimonies could give hope to people facing the disease.
