Abstract:
The study explores breast cancer treatment among
women in Zimbabwe and how women engage with breast
cancer treatment. The study looks into cancer
survivorship in Zimbabwe concerning the use of
alternative cancer medicines as palliative methods. The
article makes the argument that breast cancer treatment
information dissemination remains low with most
women viewing breast cancer as a death sentence. The
article examines literature from around the globe on
breast cancer treatment and the coping strategies
employed by breast cancer patients in African settings.
The study used a qualitative research methodology with
a descriptive research design. The study found that lack
of information influenced treatment seeking among
women in Zimbabwe with most women regarding breast
cancer as a death sentence due to lack of information on
the available treatments for breast cancer and survival
chances. The findings indicate that breast cancer is
regarded as a spiritual disease in Africa caused by
witchcraft.
