By KAREN MBUYA MURIUKIMore by this AuthorRuth Wanjiku, 22, has battled cancer twice, leaving her without a leg and a lung. I had the biopsy done in January 2015, and the results showed that I had Osteogenic Sarcoma – a cancer that starts in the bone. My doctor explained that the cancer had spread to my lungs because no chemotherapy or radiation, which normally eliminate all cancer cells, was done after my amputation. HOPEI cannot describe the happiness I felt when I was told I was cancer free in February 2018. I work with cancer patients and survivors because it’s important for people to know that cancer is not a death sentence.
