#MY BATTLE WITH CANCER First post. On this day in 2017, I was at Asokoro hospital undergoing a biopsy to determine my fate. Nothing prepared me for the diagnosis. The doctor took out the sample and said: “Madam, this thing definitely looks like cancer and if it is, we will chop off your breast”. That was it! Two days later, apart from the lump, another symptom appeared; dimpled breast. I nearly cried myself to death. I was broken in many pieces and wasn’t sure I will ever recover again. I have been through so much..I just wanted rest. I have three kids to manage alone..I am the first child and just finished seeing myself through school..then cancer! Three years on, I am doing well. I have completed my treatments, I am working, I am an inspiration to others. I am still with my kids. It’s not easy but I am determined to live! Please if you are diagnosed with cancer, tackle it head on. Conventional treatments are harsh but much better than taking a gamble with your life on supplements, herb or prayers without proper treatment. Don’t let anyone deceive you. Cancer is wicked and unforgiving. Please check your breasts today. Talk to someone if you must.

Senegal’s health minister on Monday announced the first case of coronavirus in the country, the second case in sub-Saharan Africa after one was confirmed in Nigeria last week.
The patient is a French man who lives in Senegal and flew back from France on Feb. 26, Health Minister Abdoulaye Diouf Sarr told reporters. The patient had since been in contact with his wife and two children and is now under quarantine in a hospital in the capital Dakar.
He passed a temperature check at the capital Dakar’s main airport on his return but developed a fever two days later and went to a private clinic for a check-up, the minister said. That clinic alerted the authorities who have quarantined him in Dakar’s Fann Hospital.
The patient had been in contact with his wife and two children, the minister said. It was not clear how many other people had also been in contact with him. Authorities are in the process of tracing the other passengers on the Air Senegal flight.
Fann Hospital was not reachable for comment.
The rapid spread of the new coronavirus has increased fears of a pandemic, prompting governments to step up control measures and sending global markets into a dive.

The actor took to Instagram to celebrate his new woman on her birthday.
He also shared another post speaking about falling in love again. He said that he has “too much of (love) to give, and because one failed don’t mean all will fail.”
However a follower who wasn’t impressed with his motivational speech told him that he seems like the type who easily gives up on his relationship, rather than work on it.
@queensusz wrote: “How about working on your relationship? You sound as if you are too easy to throw in the towels. Been married for 9 years, there were times when we wanted to give up but we realized that we are two imperfect people. We have kids, we have love and we have to work through it all and come out stronger! Marriage isn’t for arrogant and conceited people. Even the tongue and teeth fight at times, there is no perfect union but try to learn to say ‘I ‘m sorry, forgive me, I love you, I miss you, you are the best, I will be better etc’ but saying that if it fails, you try again! Nah eba you dey soak?”
And Mofe Duncan responded: “@queensusz good point, but you cannot dance with someone who doesn’t want to dance, no matter how you try. If you truly happy in your happy after all you say you been through then you a winner, otherwise… well… the reverse is the case.”
