From pain to purpose: Breast cancer survivors turn their scars to courage

Losing a breast brought profound emotional pain to Nancy Awuor, a breast cancer survivor. She faced mockery and sarcastic laughter from those who noticed she had only one breast.

At times, she loses balance and falls, a lasting physical reminder of the mastectomy she underwent a decade ago.

“It hurts deeply as a woman to lose a breast. Though I get emotional when mocked, I’ve accepted my condition because I’ll never regain it,” says Awuor.
