To day na today ooooo!! I am on my way to have this lump of cancerous tissue removed from my left breast. I have received so much support and love from my family, friends; the prayers have been raining down and flooding. I am so grateful!!
I have been asked; why are making this public? My answer: am I supposed to be ashamed of talking about it? Will it be the "scarlet letter"? Haba oo!! Ignorance is not bliss. I will talk about it because this is not something to hide.
I love my Igbo heritage and culture, but one unfortunate thing is that we are a secretive culture. There is always some kind of superstition that the natural order of things cannot occur naturally. Somebody or something has always caused something.
As for me, I am stepping out of my comfort zone and I believe that the more I open my mouth and discuss this THE MORE I WILL BRING AWARENESS, especially to my sisters who are too busy to take care of themselves or feel that it is one thing that can wait. DON'T IGNORE THE LUMP!!!
Thank you for all the prayers, comments, well-wishes, in the next several hours, I will have an empty space in my breast, where a little piece of annoyance which thought it could ruin my life has been evicted. Stay well and God bless. I will be in touch.

Chi, you are a very strong woman and I know that cancer can not keep you down. You are indeed a " champion". You are a woman that is always thinking about others, in a situation like this you managed to use it to advice others. Stay strong you are healed in Jesus name.
