Semirah Bello, a Yali trainee and a former president of Voluntary Service Overseas Lagos made this post today about a Lady named Adele who was diagnosed for cancer at 33 years of age.


The story goes thus;

On 27 March 2015 I was diagnosed with Triple negative Breast cancer. I was 33 years old. I remember that day like it was yesterday. Right up until the words came out of the doctor’s mouth I was sure it was a fibroma. I mean, 33 year old women don’t get breast cancer…. I was wrong.

I think deep down I knew because I didn’t cry or get upset, I just said oh ok, well, somethig happens, what’s the plan of action. I don’t think my doctor quite expected that response by the look on her face however she went straight into explaining everything.

I remember coming out of the hospital thinking, hold on, I’m 33 years old. I’ve got too much to see and do in this world. This cancer is messing with the wrong bee.

I decided from the start that I would be very open about my diagnosis and decided to share that information on my facebook page. I never thought for a minute that someone my age would get Breast Cancer and so I wanted to make my friends more aware that it can happen to anyone.
FAST FORWARD...
It’s been just over 2 months now since I completed all my treatment and I’m fortunate that the cancer is all gone. The NHS staff that I met over the last 8 months have been outstanding and made this journey more bearable. Thank you! My next chapter has now started and it’s time to enjoy life!

This is encouraging as most people with cancer usually feel it's the end of the road
