When cancer runs in the family

"We didn't understand until my father died of stomach cancer and that it was all genetic and frequent screening an only option to save my family," Eunice Mulehane narrates with tears in her eyes.

That was in 2017 and Eunice had just finished treatment for cancer of the cervix with major surgery to remove her womb.

The 48-year-old oncology nurse shares the pain of a family with a history of the scourge that has already claimed her father. Now, her sister is nursing breast cancer and her niece is suffering from cancer of the eye.
