Not a death sentence

Behind every number is a woman, a family and a decision to keep going.

Mrs Sarah, 32, from Kwoi

When Mrs Sarah was diagnosed, she did not want to go ahead with treatment. After a conversation with our convener, she changed her mind.

She has since had a mastectomy and six rounds of chemotherapy, and has gone on to hormonal therapy. Her husband has not left her side since the journey began.
