Miriam Mutebi, Breast Surgical Oncologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at the Aga Khan University Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“It’s here. After 18 years of carrying these stories.
After years of writing, rewriting, crying, laughing, and questioning whether I was brave enough. After decades of watching women die from preventable cancers because systems failed them.
Stuff I’d Tell My Sister, a book On Sisterhood, Surgery and Surviving Breast Cancer in Africa, is finally in your hands.
This book is every conversation I wish I’d had earlier:
- With the 28-year-old told she was “too young” for breast cancer.
- With the 65-year-old who never learned that her body belonged to her.
- With the mother choosing between chemotherapy and feeding her children.
- With the family navigating myths that turned faith into a weapon against survival.
- With every woman who deserves better than the silence, shame, and systemic failures that have defined African women’s healthcare for too long.
Today, we launch more than a book. We’re launching a movement that says:
Your body belongs to you. Know it, own it, protect it.
- Breast cancer doesn’t respect age; young women need to pay attention too.
- Faith and medicine can coexist; God works through doctors, too.
- Financial toxicity is a healthcare crisis that must be addressed.
- Silence kills; we’re done being quiet about womens health.
- Systems can change when we refuse to accept limitations.
