Laverne Fauntleroy ni umugore w’imyaka 53 y’amavuko uba muri Amerika ariko ufite inkomoko muri Afurika, yari asanzwe ameze neza, ariko muri Mutarama uyu mwaka, ubwo yiteguraga kwizihiza isabukuru ye y’amavuko yaje gukorerwa ibizamini asanganwa iyi kanseri y’ibere, ibintu ubwe avuga ko byamukangaranyije kuko azi neza ko abarwaye kanseri baba badafite igihe kinini cyo kubaho.
Iyi kanseri y’ibere ya TNBC (Tripple Negative Breast Cancer) irihariye cyane kuko ikura byihuse ugereranyije n’ubundi bwoko, ibi bituma imiti isanzwe idakora kuri iyi kanseri ku birabura.

Mu Rwanda impuguke mu buvuzi bwa kanseri zivuga iki?
Mu kiganiro yagiranye n’UMUSEKE, Dr. Theoneste Maniragaba akaba impuguke mu buvuzi bwa kanseri mu Bitaro bya Gisirikare i Kanombe, yavuze ko kanseri y’ibere igira inzego eshatu bigendanye n’uturemangingo tuyirwaye, agaragaza ko rimwe na rimwe hari aho uturemangingo dukura biturutse ku misemburo ikorana n’ibere nka Progesterone.
Avuga ko umuntu aba afite kanseri y’ibere ya TNBC (Tripple Negative Breast Cancer), mu gihe uturemangingo twa kanseri ntaho duhuriye no kuzamurwa n’imisemburo ikorana n’ibere.
Dr . Theoneste Maniragaba akomeza agaragaza ko kuba iyi kanseri yaba yibasira abirabura cyane nta gitangaza, kuko hari indwara usanga zifitanye isano n’imiterere y’umubiri, gusa ngo si bo bonyine iyi kanseri yibasira.
Ati “Ubundi kuzahazwa n’indwara bijyanye n’uburyo umubiri uhangana na kanseri n’uko wakira ubuvuzi bwayo, iyo ugeze muri Amerika nk’umugabane utuwe n’abantu b’abimukira baturutse no muri Afurika, hari indwara zifata bamwe ariko zikaba zijyanye n’igisekuru bakomokaho, rero usanga indwara barwara muri Amerika zifitanye isano n’izo muri Afurika dufite, urugero nka kanseri ya Prostate byagaragaye ko abirabura benshi muri Amerika bayifite kubera bafitanye isano natwe, n’igisantera cyo kuba bakomoka muri Afurika.”
