Blessing CEO, the Nigerian influencer, has announced that she is battling breast cancer and is seeking financial support to cover urgent surgery.
In a video via Instagram, Blessing, who appeared bald,
disclosed that she went public to seek financial support after exhausting her
resources on treatment, leaving her feeling “powerless”.
The influencer, born Blessing Okoro Nkiruka, stated that she
requires urgent medical intervention to halt the progression of the illness and
assess its full extent.
“I have been diagnosed with breast cancer. At this point, I
urgently need surgery, including a possible amputation, to stop the spread and
determine how far the tumour has gone, and whether one or both breasts will be
affected,” she said.
“It was a very difficult decision to come online, but in a
situation like this, you can feel powerless. I have not been able to work, and
my resources have been exhausted. That is why I am appealing for support.
“If my words have ever had a positive impact on your life,
and you are a fan, this is the time to show it. Nothing is too small. I just
want to be well.”
In a follow-up video, Blessing revealed that what initially
appeared as a harmless lump in her right breast last year was later diagnosed
as cancer after further testing.
She added that the illness has now spread to her left
breast, and she is preparing for a possible surgical removal.
“It started last year as a lump, and I went to the hospital.
Weeks after the tests, I was told it was not cancerous, so I decided not to
remove it at the time because I had a lot going on,” she said.
“But when I was ready to have it removed, another test was
carried out, and it was discovered that the lump was cancerous and had spread
to the left breast. We are now considering an amputation.”
