How does the tumour affect Keziah?
At the onset of the swelling, Keziah mistook it for pregnancy, but when it became apparent that she was not expectant, she rushed to the hospital. That would mark the beginning of her troubles, as she has been forced to go in and out of the hospital ever since.

"This stomach is huge and very heavy; I have a very difficult time sleeping and standing up. My kids have to pull me up and everytime I am out there people stare at me," said Nyambura who also finds walking quite cumbersome.
"I was sent to KNH, but I do not have money; I am asking for help to get money so that I can go to the hospital," she added.
Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Keziah said that thanks to well-wishers she had been taken to the Kenyatta National Hospital, where she was under observation.
"They admitted me and took some samples from my body for tests. They said they would tell me the results of the tests on Monday, March 23," said Keziah.
"I am still appealing for help to ensure that I get the best treatment so that I can return and take care of my baby," she added.
The family can be reached on 0795132397.

Woman flies from Saudi for cancer treatment
In another story, Violet Iminza started ailing while she was in Saudi and had to be put on a flight back to Kenya for medical attention.
According to Iminza, her belly was swollen because of water that was later drained. Once the water in her stomach was drained, scans revealed she had stomach cancer.
The woman from Nairobi shared that she could not settle the bill; her friends and family had turned their backs on her as they never visited her.
