Being Intentional In What You Do - A story of courage & belief with Angela Msonthi : Part 2 of 4

Msonthi in her own words..
I am a wife to Grey Msonthi and we have two children, a boy aged 17 and girl aged 15. I was born in Malawi and have lived in the UK for over 20 years having trained as a registered nurse working in London.Here I share my experience of being diagnosed and living with secondary breast cancer.
I was 44 when I first faced breast cancer. I found a lump, went to my GP and was referred to the breast cancer clinic. Unfortunately, after all the tests, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had surgery and radiotherapy then went back to work a few months later.Sadly, 18 months later I started to experience pain in my hip and after a bone scan I was told that the cancer had spread to my pelvis. I was treated with radiotherapy and monthly injections.But, in June 2020, I received my third cancer diagnosis after a regular scan, this time in the liver. I had surgery to remove the affected part in the liver and six cycles of chemotherapy.
I am so grateful to God and for all the support from friends and family.I want to make my own cancer journey a positive/ hopeful one by sharing my experience and raising awareness about breast cancer in my community. I want to be the voice that prompted someone to check their body and remain hopeful when faced with a challenge. I want to let people know that they should seek help and advice when they are concerned about their health. Even if I help just one person, that will make me very happy and this message would have been worthwhile.
