Shamima Ali shares her story about beating cancer

Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre Coordinator, Shamima Ali has revealed that she was diagnosed with two types of cancer.

Speaking as a survivor, she says she was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2008 and lung cancer in 2010 and was lucky to get treatment in New Zealand because she has health insurance.

Ali says they are currently taking care of a woman whose husband had not allowed her to get treatment for breast cancer.

She says the woman had to get her breast removed but the husband had not allowed her to get the surgery.
