Sosina is 27 yrs and from an Eritrean-Ethiopian background. She fled her country during the war in the early 2000s and lost contact with all her family – she still wonders if they are alive or dead.
Sosina arrived in Uganda, a refugee with no family, no home and no job.
Due to difficulty in accessing healthcare, she had a breast lump growing for 2 years. She heard about Hope Ward through a kind neighbour and she was diagnosed with locally advanced breast cancer. She has been started on primary chemotherapy and moderately extensive surgery to ensure entire removal of disease. This is likely to be patched with a skin graft and will be followed by radiotherapy and hormone therapy.
