About this conversation
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — but for too many women, awareness comes only after the diagnosis.
In this powerful episode, Oncoplastic Breast and Endocrine Surgeon Dr. Mariusz Marek breaks the silence on the realities of cancer in Kenya and across Africa, from the subtle signs we miss to the myths that cost lives.
This isn’t just a medical talk; it’s a call to act. Book your mammogram. Talk to your mother, your sister, your friend. Awareness isn’t a hashtag, it is survival.
