Breast cancer awareness month is the time when all efforts are made to educate the public on breast cancer.

Let’s make these public campaigns go beyond the big cities, let the information reach the people at the hinterlands, these are the ones that report to the hospitals with advanced breast cancers after trying all sorts of herbal medications.

Just last week, I had to tell a 32-year-old woman and her family she had an advanced breast cancer, and now has a few weeks to months to live. This is the story in most African countries were majority of breast cancer cases present very late when treatment is not effective or very expensive.

Africa especially therefore stands to benefit a lot from primary and secondary preventive measures.
