"content": "Most of our people used to die because they had to travel to India to do PET scans. One of my brothers was almost 40 years old. He started having back pain, which became severe. When we took him to hospital, he was told he had cancer. They said it was at stage one and advised that he needed to get treatment as soon as possible. We decided to take him to India, but three weeks did not even pass. You cannot believe what we were told when we got there. After doing the PET scan, they found that it was stage four and he passed on. I feel sad that Kenya is still lagging behind on this issue of cancer. I strongly feel that this is the number one killer disease. This is because when you get cancer, you do not feel the pain. It is only after it has advanced that you start feeling the pain. You can imagine if we do not have these kits, how will you know? My eight-month old nephew died of cancer. His was fully blown, but how did he get it? He was not in pain. It was the same case for my brother."
