The Story of Mama Betty - Breast Cancer

Mama Betty is a Congolese woman living in Kinshasa where she raises alone her 4 children. Having learned that she had breast cancer in 2014, she went to a hospital of the place to receive his treatments; it was a breast removal and a series of chemotherapy and radiotherapy she was to follow until 2015 - something that was not done, lack of means not sufficient at the time against the heavy bills.

In 2015, she feels some symptoms that she tried to ignore and calm by self-medication but without success, his health deteriorated. As a solution alternative, she went to consult the traditional healers (which is common practice in DRC) who will prescribe treatment that has failed and provoked pain in the other breast.

Desperate and lacking in financial resources, she heard about the Bomoko Foundation well before following a television intervention on their counseling and assistance to the sick. She made an appointment and automatically, she was able to see a doctor so that she could redo the diagnostic examinations, these examinations were exceptionally supported by the Foundation given the urgency and the particularity of its case.
