"MCF gave me hope when I thought I had none."
‘Cancer’ can be a very scary word, and when I got a positive diagnosis, I was definitely scared. But thanks to early detection, I knew that I was going to survive. The doctors and nurses in Nigeria are the best in the world and I feel extremely privileged to have receive excellent quality of care in a short space of time. - Ngozi Uko"MCF gave me hope when I thought I had none."
I would absolutely encourage others to volunteer For MCFs programs if they can. Working with the team and the training is really important to make sure you know what to say and when to say it, but it is a really valuable experience for people who Feel like they have something to offer. You've got to be in the right place emotionally in terms of your own treatment, overall it is an amazing experience. - Sani Malgwi"MCF gave me hope when I thought I had none."
Speaking as someone who has been there, it's vital that men, especially those above 45, protect themselves in the sun and have regular skin checks, particularly those areas such as the back where it's difficult to detect skin change yourself. - Salisu AhmedSurvivors
