Carmen Monge-Montero, Researcher and Patient Advocate at Youth Cancer Europe and Founder of Monge Consultancy, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Mano Conversation with Abigail Simon-Hart from Nigeria.
Abigail has been living with and beyond breast cancer since 2014. Today, Abigail is dedicated to empowering people with a lived experience of cancer to speak up and take an active role in their care.
In this short interview, Abigail shares:
- Why ‘cancer is not a death sentence’
- How silence and stigma can be broken through open conversations
- The inspiring work of her NGO, The Bricon Foundation – from policy change, patient training, and a food bank, to free mastectomy wear and micro-grants
- A powerful reflection about not judging others after her mastectomy
- Her message: own your journey, and protect both quality of life and dignity in death
Join Abigail at the 2nd Cancer Survivor Conference, hosted by The Bricon Foundation in partnership with Beiersdorf Nivea and Eko Hotels and Suites.
