Josephine Kargbo, a mother, entrepreneur, and civil servant working for the Ministry of Education in Sierra Leone, is urgently appealing for medical assistance in her battle with breast cancer.

According to Josephine, her journey with breast cancer began when she discovered a lump in her left breast after breastfeeding. She sought medical attention and underwent her first surgery at Connaught Hospital, where the lump was removed and sent for testing. However, just weeks after the procedure, she noticed new lumps forming in the same breast.

“Fear and worry consumed me,” she recalled. “When I received the final lab results, my worst fear was confirmed—I was diagnosed with Invasive Breast Carcinoma of no specific type, Grade 3.”

Upon examination, doctors recommended an immediate mastectomy, but the cost was overwhelming. “I also struggled with the emotional toll of losing my breast, especially after already undergoing multiple surgeries, including a C-section to bring my child into this world,” she added.

Seeking a second opinion, she traveled to Ghana, where further tests—including a mammogram, biopsy, and CT scans—confirmed she had Invasive Breast Cancer, Grade 1.

Josephine recently started chemotherapy, describing the experience as incredibly difficult. “Being far from home, struggling financially, and trying to balance my health with my responsibilities has made this fight even harder. But I refuse to give up.”

Now, she is calling on breast cancer organizations, medical aid groups, and charities worldwide for urgent assistance.

“Please, I need your help. I want to live for my son and my family. I need financial assistance to continue my treatment and survive this battle. Please give me a second chance at life.”

She is appealing to individuals and organizations that support breast cancer patients to come to her aid.
