Be Bold and Go Gold with CHOC!

You have the power to make a change

A note from Hedley Lewis, CHOC CEO
​​​​​​

International Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is a month where you could use your power to make a change.

You have the power to channel your voice to create Hope. Your voice could be the difference between a child being referred timeously to a Paediatric oncology Unit in the early stages of cancer or devastating late diagnosis. The later the referral the worse the prognosis may be and unfortunately, the tougher the journey. 

While the survival rate of SA has gradually increased over the past few years to about 55%, it is still well below the rate of developed countries (of 80 to 90%) and the WHO GICC 2030 goal of at least a 60% survival rate. In addition to this, statistics indicate that we may be missing some children and teens (who are either never diagnosed, misdiagnosed or unreported).

A key factor here is the lack of knowledge about the Early Warnings Signs of childhood cancer and to learn more, visit the CHOC website here.

If you suspect that a child or teen might have cancer and you need help, CHOC is available to assist with the right process to refer a child. Be the change for those going through the childhood cancer journey and for those who have been newly diagnosed, together let us appreciate the lives of the survivors and finally, be a voice and educate communities about
childhood cancer.

Meet Zimvo, mother of Othalive, the face on our September Campaign

My name is Zimvo and I am a 24-year old mother to a son named Othalive. He is now  1 year 8 months old.

My son was diagnosed with cancer called Retinoblastoma, this cancer is found in the eyes. Otha lost his eye to this type of cancer on the 4th of December 2019.

He started chemotherapy at Frere hospital in January 2020  

We stayed there for 2 months and some weeks, after that we were taken to CHOC house.

I didn’t know what CHOC house was at first when Dr. Matthews explained and said CHOC is a house for children with cancer and their mothers. Okay. When I got there, I didn’t know what to expect, but found a beautiful house full of life, lots of toys   and things to play with.

The mothers were so nice, Vuyo was so welcoming and she made us feel that CHOC indeed was A HOME AWAY FROM HOME.  At CHOC house I didn’t need to buy food, electricity or pay for water.  Everything was just there. It’s home a child with nothing to worry about when there’s something I needed I knew Sis’Vuyo always assisted. 

If it was going to town, needing personal help or advice she was always there she was basically making sure our stay at CHOC was amazing.

​​​​​​

Even with COVID-19 at the CHOC house, we were still comfortable we knew we were safe because the house was looked after, it was clean and we were given sanitisers in every corner from the toilet and to the dining area. We were given masks for us and our children. Pictures on the wall were posted for the little ones to see that they needed to always wash hands.

We had a wonderful stay at the CHOC house, a place to regroup and be with other mothers who will make you feel better about your situation, it was nice to be around women who have been through the same situation as you have. Winter was the warmest we ever had, with warm water and lovely knitted socks and hats, oh and little blankets for the children.

I spent a lot of time there with my son, he grew up there he learnt how to speak there, how to ride a scooter there, how be around other kids. CHOC for my son was his real home because that’s where he spent most of his time.

Thank you CHOC East London for the home away from home you have given us, and thank you Vuyo for making it a place to find our self and enjoy.

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

South Africa joins the rest of the global community to commemorate childhood cancer awareness month in September to raise awareness about children`s cancers to reduce child mortality rate and highlight the global burden of childhood cancers.

 

Although, children`s cancers are not always treated like adult cancers, they are highly curable with higher survival rates in high-income countries, while the situation is different in low-middle-income countries.

 

Delayed diagnosis together with too few specially trained health specialists, such as doctors and nurses, contribute to low survival rates. The 2022 Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is commemorated under the theme: “Better Survival is achievable #throughyourhands” which serves as a clarion call for governments, non-government, and the private sector to work together to achieve at least 60% survival in low-middle-income countries and to reduce suffering of all children with cancer by 2030 worldwide.

 

Globally, childhood and adolescent cancer is threatening to overtake infectious diseases, as one of the highest causes of disease-related mortality in children. Despite being relatively rare, in high-income countries childhood cancer is the second most common cause of death in children aged 5 to 14 years, after accidents, whilst in Africa it does not make it into the top 10 common causes.

 

The month of September is considered a month of hope for better treatment outcomes, for a brighter and healthier future for young cancer patients.

 

Professor Gita Naidu, Chair of South African Children’s Cancer Study Group says, “Early diagnosis and availability of basic childhood cancer drugs will enable us to meet the WHO 2030 goal of an overall survival of 60% in low-middle-income countries. Childhood cancer can be cured”.

 

According to Dr Kibachio Joseph Mwangi, Medical Officer responsible for Non-Communicable Diseases at the  World Health Organization of South Africa, “unlike in adults where screening has a huge impact on early cancer diagnosis treatment and outcome, awareness of childhood cancer symptoms by families and primary care providers, accurate and timely clinical evaluation as well as accurate diagnosis, staging and access to prompt treatment will go a long way to improve our survival rate in children with cancer”.  Early detection of childhood cancer affords early diagnosis enabling a better chance of being cured and an increase in the survival rate.

 

Sandhya Singh, Acting Chief Director: NCD Cluster, NDoH stresses the importance of meaningful engagement with all stakeholders in particular with children and teenagers living with cancer as well as their parents or caregivers to better understand their lived experiences and these impact on their access to care as well as the quality of survival.

 

Hedley Lewis, CHOC CEO says, “you have the power to make a change, no matter who you are, let’s be a voice for our children and teenagers this International Childhood Cancer Awareness Month! Our children deserve to live a full life, and we have the power to give them the chance to do so”.

 

The survival rate of SA has gradually increased over the past few years to about 55%, though it is still well below the rate of developed countries of 80 to 90%, and the WHO GICC 2030 goal of at least a 60% survival rate. Statistics indicate that countries may be missing some children and teens who are either never diagnosed, misdiagnosed or unreported. A key factor is the lack of knowledge about the early warnings signs of childhood cancer which are accessible in various platforms including CHOC website

 

Members of the public are urged to be the change for those going through the childhood cancer journey and for those who have been newly diagnosed. There are many ways people can get involved this September, in order to make a difference in the lives of children and teenagers who are on the cancer recovery journey.
