Breast cancer: 'I have one breast, would you like to see it?'
Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women, impacting 2.1 million each year.
One form of treatment is to have a mastectomy, where breast tissue is removed to prevent the disease spreading.
BBC's #TheSheWord asked three women from Zimbabwe, Kenya and Malawi who’ve all had a mastectomy to tell us why going through the operation never made them feel less of a woman.
