Medicine can treat the disease, but listening, supporting, and caring with heart help women heal

- BY NANCY ZABANEH | Special to Gulf News

With October having drawn to a close marked by ribbons, campaigns, and illuminated buildings for the Breast Cancer Awareness Month the world has turned pink in solidarity.

Beyond the colour and the cause are real women, each with her own story. The World Health Organisation's (WHO) theme this year, Every Story is Unique, Every Journey Matters, reminds us that no two diagnoses are alike. Behind each is a woman navigating her own fears, choices, and hopes.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women in the GCC. Globally, WHO reports that 2.3 million women were diagnosed in 2022 and 670,000 died from the disease.
