The word "cancer" is one we disassociate ourselves with in any way. Its one of those things u never really want to think about, like if u thought too much about it, it would appear somewhere in your system. Truth is whether or not u think about it, its out there and unlike HIV, Hepatitis et al, it starts from within u...

I am Fu'ad, a 27yr old student from Maiduguri, Nigeria. I was diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal carcinoma after FEB 2010, I was treated with radio therapy in the same year as I went for radiation on my face for 2 months in Sokoto followed by 6months chemotherapy injection in Zaria.

In MAY 2011 when I started feeling pain in my left leg (hip joint) my Oncology doc said I should go for bone scan or mri which I did. Radiation was done in d place for pain relief and he advised me to go for PET scan which was not available in Nigeria so I went to India and did d test. The results showed bone metastases around my RIGHT RIB, CHEST, BACK AND LEFT HIP so they did radiotherapy in all the places for 40days and they advised me to stay and add 3 courses of chemo. Unfortunately I couldn't afford it there so I came back home and did it and it showed that it has affected my left leg and 10th rib.

I am in constant excruciating pain, its indescribable in a very unpleasnat way. My family has done and are still doing their best to help me get treated but we can't afford the $13,000 USD that should cover my treatment in the next 3months. I know its a lot and I know you will be thinking, why not stay in Nigeria and do it. My doctors have all advised me to go where cancer cases are handled with the aggressiveness and seriousness it requires.

I need help, and I need it as soon as I get it. I'm trusting God that He will touch your hearts to enable you make a difference in my life.
