The mother of recently deceased cancer patient Shaniece Nanhoe is planning to do everything she can to help raise awareness about rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS).
Esherdai Jailall told Stabroek News that while she is focused on laying her daughter to rest, she is also working on ideas to help better inform people about situations similar to the one her family experienced. Nanhoe, who had a facial tumour, was diagnosed with the rare cancer in June of 2019 and had undergone over a dozen cycles of chemotherapy. By the time her doctors considered radiation therapy, the facial tumour had worsened and her doctors informed that the treatment would only make matters worse.
She was pronounced dead on January 5.
