She shares her journey on her first book called Unbowed- How God rescued me from different storms” In this book Lilian has penned down a message to the head of state once again and believes that he will continue listening and helping those affected with cancer.
Creating awareness does not mean having once in a year calendar where people talk about a particular type of cancer but talking about it publicly; social places like, marketplaces, village meetings; places of worship, institutions, entertainment, and recreational centers.
