The youthful Specially Elected Member of Parliament (MP) Bogolo Kenewendo has cautioned people to refrain from thinking that cancer is for certain people, especially Westerners.

Kenewendo, who was the chief walker, said this during the 11th Annual Stiletto Walk 2017 at the Rail Park Mall over the weekend. The event was held under the theme, ‘Big or Small, Save ’Em All.’ “Check for lumps in your breasts. If you feel a lump seek medical help. Refrain from thinking that cancer is a disease for certain people. I know many people have the mentality that cancer is the disease for people in European countries. That is wrong. Cancer affects everyone, poor or rich,” she said.

Kenewendo added that just like this year’s theme states, it is important for people to save their breasts. She said if diagnosed early, breast cancer can be treated. She pointed out that all breasts despite their size, face a danger of cancer.
