Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>The following excerpt has been retrieved from the World Health Organization Regional Office for Africa website and it highlights the importance of family in the treatment of breast cancer.<\/b><\/p>\n

Additionally, the article highlights the developments and changes that have been made in Eswatini regarding breast cancer. According to the article, the oncology unit which was established in Manzini through the support from the Bristol Myer Squibb Foundation came as a relief to some patients as it also allowed them to receive support from family.<\/p>\n

\u201cClosing the care gap – the role of families\u201d in Breast Cancer battle.<\/p>\n

13 October 2023<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Health, Cancer Unit has recorded 577 cases of cancer between January 2023 and June 2023, 33 of which are cancers of the breast.<\/p>\n

While many cancer patients in middle-income countries succumb to the disease, 50-year-old Fikile Hlatjwayo is lucky to have survived the deadly disease.<\/p>\n

Hlatjwayo was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and started treatment, which at that time was only available in South Africa through the Phalala Fund. It was only in 2022 that the Ministry of Health established an oncology unit in Manzini, through support from the Bristol Myer Squibb Foundation (BMSF).<\/p>\n

This came as a relief to cancer patients like Hlatjwayo as services became available in the country. This enabled patients to receive not only medical support but also support from family, true to this year\u2019s theme of Global Breast Cancer Awareness month \u201cClosing the care gap, the role of families\u201d.<\/p>\n

The establishment of the oncology unit enabled the Ministry of Health to construct a radiation facility. The official opening of Manzini Oncology Hospital has witnessed an increase in the number of clients accessing services and the only facility that provides strictly cancer in-patient care.<\/p>\n

This has eased the burden on Mbabane Government Hospital, which was the only center that provided chemotherapy services, and reduced the referral to neighboring countries\/private facilities. Currently, the hospital has one Oncologist who works in both Manzini and Mbabane Hospital. Further, the Ministry of Health has assigned some Medical Officers to work in the Oncology Unit.<\/p>\n

Hlatjwayo says the availability of cancer treatment in local facilities has lessened the stress of having to spend a lot of time away from her family whilst receiving treatment in neighboring countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and I received treatment again in 2022 because some cancer cells were found in my lungs, but now I am okay.<\/p>\n

I would like to thank my husband and my children for the support that they gave me throughout my journey with cancer,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

During the launch of the Global Breast Cancer Awareness month in Mbabane, Principal Secretary of the Ministry of Health Khanyakwezwe Mabuza mentioned that this year\u2019s theme indeed focused on the role played by family in giving hope and support to cancer patients and overcoming stigma. Mabuza said, just like Hlatjwayo\u2019s family, awareness and education can enable families to create a better place for all those who need care and support.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstanding and acquiring knowledge about the condition of the sick relative, treatment options that are available and the importance of preventive care empowers families to actively participate in the health care discussion.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that without families there is no way we can survive or conquer this scourge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The PS outlined that families can foster an inclusive natural environment where individuals feel safe to express their needs. He added that having breast cancer is not an easy road, so by promoting open communication, families can contribute to breaking down the barriers and stigma that surrounds the disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot of misconception with regards to breast cancer, and families become advocates for the loved ones. This allows the individuals to seek healthcare without fear of judgment and discrimination, he said.<\/p>\n

Mabuza further emphasized that the Ministry of Health has prioritized cancer control and has ensured universal cancer prevention. He further applauded the Eswatini Breast and Cervical Cancer Network as well as Eswatini Hospice at Home, among others, for ensuring that cancer patients receive the necessary support.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the same event, WHO Representative Dr Susan Tembo mentioned that globally, there are more than 2.3 million cases of breast cancer that occur each year, which makes it the most common cancer among adults.<\/p>\n

In 95% of countries, breast cancer is the first or second leading cause of female cancer deaths, and nearly 80% of deaths from breast and cervical cancer occur in low- and middle-income countries like Eswatini.<\/p>\n

Dr Tembo reiterated that breast cancer places a tremendous strain on individuals, families, communities, health systems, and economies, hence it must be a priority for the Ministry of Health and Government.<\/p>\n

\u201cCancer in women including breast cancer leaves a devastating impact on the next generation. A study on cancer, suggests that with an estimated 4.4 million women dying of cancer in 2020, nearly 1 million children were orphaned by cancer, 25% of which were due to breast cancer.<\/p>\n

Children who lose their mothers to cancer experience health and educational disadvantages throughout their lives, triggering generational, chronic social disruption and financial harm in many cases,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

To mitigate the burden of breast cancer, WHO has released a number of tools including the Global Breast Cancer Initiative Framework which provides a roadmap to attain the targets to save 2.5 million lives from breast cancer by 2040.<\/p>\n

The new Framework recommends that countries implement the three pillars of health promotion for early detection, timely diagnosis, and comprehensive management of breast cancer to reach the targets.<\/p>\n

Dr Tembo further urged the Government of Eswatini to ensure that this framework is integrated into primary health care, not only to advance health promotion but also to empower women to seek and receive health care throughout the life cycle.<\/p>\n

HOW TO SUPPORT<\/p>\n

Due to the complex nature of Breast Cancer, it is undeniable that it affects more than just the individual who has been developed the illness. It also affects those around them who love and care for them. Below is an article extracted from Breast Cancer Now. The article highlights various ways one can be supportive of a loved one with breast cancer.<\/p>\n

How to support someone with breast cancer<\/p>\n

If a friend or family member has been diagnosed with breast cancer, there are a number of things you can do to help or support them.<\/p>\n

1. Practical support<\/p>\n

Many people with breast cancer want to carry on doing as much as possible during their treatment. However, side effects can make it more difficult to continue with everyday tasks, and asking for help is not always easy.<\/p>\n

It can be hard to know how to help, but there are lots of ways you can provide practical support.<\/p>\n

As well as thinking about what your friend or family member might need help with, it\u2019s important to think about how long they may need support, what you\u2019re able to do and how much time you can commit.<\/p>\n

Depending on what you feel able to do, you might offer to help with things like:<\/p>\n

Doing a food shop<\/p>\n

Cleaning and vacuuming<\/p>\n

Clothes washing and ironing<\/p>\n

Gardening<\/p>\n

Dog walking<\/p>\n

Cooking meals for freezing<\/p>\n

Providing transport to and from hospital appointments<\/p>\n

Coming into hospital appointments to take notes or ask questions<\/p>\n

Taking children to or from school<\/p>\n

Babysitting<\/p>\n

Helping with personal or domestic admin, for example benefits applications or insurance renewals<\/p>\n

Being clear about the practical support you can provide may make it easier for your friend or family member to accept. For example, rather than saying \u201cWhat can I do for you?\u201d it might be better to say \u201cWould you like me to pick the children up from school tomorrow?\u201d<\/p>\n

Some people may be reluctant to accept help or even feel embarrassed about the help that\u2019s being offered. This can sometimes feel hurtful, but it\u2019s important to some people to maintain a sense of normality after a breast cancer diagnosis. Many people want to continue to do things themselves even when the activities become very difficult.<\/p>\n

2. Emotional support<\/p>\n

Most people are shocked to hear they have breast cancer. They can experience many different emotions including anger, fear, disbelief, sadness and depression.<\/p>\n

Feelings can change from day to day and even hour to hour, so it\u2019s often difficult to know what to say and how best to support someone emotionally.<\/p>\n

How you can provide emotional support<\/p>\n

Just being with your friend or family member and allowing them to tell you how they feel is one of the most important ways you can support them emotionally.<\/p>\n

Simply listening patiently is often all that is needed. However, if it\u2019s appropriate, holding hands or giving the person a hug are also good ways of showing your support.<\/p>\n

Remember that everyone has their own way of dealing with breast cancer. Not everybody wants to talk about their diagnosis and some people may prefer you to provide a distraction by talking about \u201cnormal\u201d things. You should be guided by your friend or relative.<\/p>\n

If your friend or family member is happy to talk to you but does not want to discuss their diagnosis with others, offering to update people can be a big help. This can manage other people\u2019s worry and may stop your friend or family member from feeling overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

Coping with your friend or family member\u2019s emotions<\/p>\n

Listening to your friend or family member talk about how they\u2019re feeling can be difficult or distressing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s natural to want to \u201cfix\u201d things when someone you care about is upset. But often just being there to listen and acknowledge their feelings is the most helpful thing you can do. Try to resist the temptation to offer advice, suggest practical solutions or encourage them to be positive.<\/p>\n

If someone is feeling angry about their diagnosis, they may sometimes direct this anger at you. This reaction can be hurtful, particularly if you\u2019re trying to support them. But try to remember this is often because they\u2019re upset about having cancer, rather than being upset with you.<\/p>\n

3. Support for you<\/p>\n

Although your friend or family member is the one with a breast cancer diagnosis, the experience will be difficult for you too.<\/p>\n

You may feel frustrated that you cannot help your friend or family member as you would with other problems.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s normal to feel a range of emotions, so it\u2019s important you find support for your own physical and mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Looking after yourself<\/p>\n

To be there for your friend or family member, you need to look after yourself. This is also important if you are caring for someone with secondary breast cancer.<\/p>\n

Make sure you eat properly, get some regular exercise and try to get enough sleep.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important you have some time for yourself. This could be going for a walk, having a drink with a friend or spending part of your day writing your thoughts in a diary. Allow yourself this time without feeling guilty.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re finding it difficult to do these things or are feeling overwhelmed, let a friend, family member or your GP know.<\/p>\n

Talking to other peopleIt can help to talk to close friends or family about how you\u2019re feeling.<\/p>\n

Occasionally you may feel very alone, even if you have friends and family around you. It can seem that no one else really understands what you\u2019re going through.<\/p>\n

Having somebody to talk to can help you feel supported and prevent you becoming overwhelmed.<\/p>\n
