A cancer survivor, Sam Ngugi, advocates for lifestyle changes and diet as cost-effective ways to manage cancer, challenging the perception that fighting the disease requires immense financial resources. This advice comes as many patients face exorbitant treatment costs, sometimes exceeding Ksh20,000 per session for chemotherapy or blood transfusions.

• Ngugi reversed his need for Ksh20,000 blood transfusions by consuming more fruits and vegetables, highlighting diet as a "game-changer."
• Kenya records approximately 39,000 new cancer cases and over 27,000 deaths annually, making it the third leading cause of death.
• Ngugi advises patients to view "food as medicine" and encourages early hospital visits for persistent symptoms like headaches, which are often ignored.
