Yeah this was a sad story.
The 54-yr old mama knew she was about to log out of planet earth - she had always wanted to die a Mrs and not a Miss.

There are products out there we are feeding on that are causing cancer.
It has nothing to do with lifestyles,i tend to think cooking oil and soap.

mukiri you sound like somebody I know.The person even had a book on these cancer causing products.
Nilichanuka ever since.
Infact the reason I avoid eating out is cz I fear what may have gone into the food. saturated fats,spices flavours,colourings such. At times they reuse the oil till it turns black!The same oil used for fish will be used to fry your egg!!
but we just love eating anything,anyhow, anywhere and anytime.

To the ladies> those perfumed 'pampers' lol are a health risk.
The first thing I will ask my dentist is what fillings he used on my tooth!

By the way Mukiri,I am very angry because people don't know these things!!
Was told by the dentist eti most kids with teeth probs are as a result of antibiotics taken before sleep.Failure to brush causes the dawa to erode the teeth polepole.!
Maybe we are all dying!smh.

@Ms kenya,

This couple had 7 kids together. Been co-habiting for 30plus yrs.

@Vinii do not be deceived.

All these R&F dying of cancer have these precautions in place.

Just live and avoid what you can,but what you cannot leave to God.

The more I think about this story the more I am convinced that this thread could also be given the title 'The woman who scored a victory against death'. Of course it's not just about the woman alone, but we must decorate 'the most deserving party'.

I have been in a situation similar to her's thrice, and in all of them I have failed miserably.

The first involved my father. He was suffering from a terminal illness, and I was busy trying to find a cure for my aching heart and mind. And one day it dawned on me that the old man could die at any time, and we had never shared a moment of love. I had never hugged or kissed his face, and neither had I ever told him that I loved him. In fact, those were the days I was fighting to find love. So the only thing I could do was weep for a month.

Then came my mother. I was with her when the doctor broke the news that she had cancer. She asked me, 'am I going to die?' I had read plenty of stories about surviving cancer, so I was optimistic. But from that day on, we all got so absorbed with living/surviving that we forgot about love. Even when I was so sure that she was going to die, my mind was so lost that I couldn't even kiss and hug and cry with her. It was as if such an act would mean surrender.

My next case was a fiancée. She too was terminally ill. Before the illness everything was sweet, and how we hugged and kissed! But when death came knocking I became a Stoic. Our last conversation went like this; 'So I am dying?'

'But living is not a privilege either'. I answered.

But look at the subject of this thread! She had time to love. I tried to look at her face, and alas! She was glowing with beauty.

Yes, her expression of love was an act of surrender but the consequence is a victory that will forever nourish humanity. I am taking her straight to essyks 'mashujaa's list'.

Its more riskier being on Kenyan roads (Matatu or private) than eating all those mentioned foods and landing on a "potholed" airport combined. Live and do good at every opportunity. Life will take care of itself. No one will come out of this alive.
