A breast cancer story

Instead of putting the people’s money in the confidential funds of government officials, put more money into cancer prevention and treatment programs

Survival rates for breast cancer depend on various factors, including the stage at which the cancer is detected. In the Philippines, early detection rates are lower compared to more developed countries. Ngelangel said more than half – 65 percent – of breast cancer cases in the Philippines are diagnosed in the late or advanced stages.

I immediately contacted my oncologist. Many tests later , I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. Reducing the financial burden on patients through subsidies and insurance programs can make treatment more accessible and affordable. Put taxpayer money toward health services, rather than the confidential funds of government officials.

Through an assistance fund, cancer patients may avail of financial help for screening, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, palliative care, support care, and medicines.
