This is a great thread and we really need something like this is Nigeria. Thank you for starting this @ Candygosh I found a lump almost 2 months ago and I've been to the hospital to have it checked out a couple of times. The last time I visited, the surgeon I was referred to said he could not feel anything and scheduled an ultrasound. Ultrasound too didn't see anything and the radiographer also said he couldn't feel it. Well, I can feel it though it really is small and the area needs to be pinched in order to feel it. Before I am totally dismissed as an hypochondriac at my current health care facility, can anyone recommend a stress free place in Lagos where they would be willing to listen and patient enough to run correct tests? As I've learnt on the oyinbo forums "the best kind of lump is that which is in a jar". |

tollu: Hi dear, It's so great that you are very observant of what's going on in your body and you are not taking anything with levity. I'm sure Candygosh will be able to refer you to some good hospitals in Lagos. Just hold on for her reply. |

I just stumbled on this thread today. I really do not know what more to say to you ladies. Candy and hepzi you ladies are Strong! God almighty will see you tru dis phase. I had three lumps removed from the both breasts 4 yrs ago. Anoda one was removed two years ago. It was really a hard tym for me. D results showed it was benign growth. Fibroadenoma i think. |
Re: BR€AST CANCER Amongst Nigerian Women by Nobody: 11:12am On Oct 20, 2014 |
My dear, i faced something similar as the first Doctor i went to when i noticed the lump dismissed it as fat. Anoda lady doctor told me it was particles of the breasts that has not dissolved. tollu: |

Christine01:if u had the lumpectomy in 2012 and till now no recurrence, u have nothing to worry about seriously. But if u still feel like, u can go ahead. Yes, tho u may not get the extracted lump but they'll give u an already prepared and preserved in a kind of wax block sample. |
Re: BR€AST CANCER Amongst Nigerian Women by hephzi1991: 4:32pm On Oct 20, 2014 |
xcelsia:Good, as long as she has the will to keep living, she'll go far. Always remind her that she is not alone in the fight and also, everyone has his own private battle, it may not be cancer, it may b a kidney disease, a mental disorder, poverty e.t.c. As long as you are alive, you must have ur battle to fight and she must not give up |
Re: BR€AST CANCER Amongst Nigerian Women by hephzi1991: 4:35pm On Oct 20, 2014 |
candygosh:needle biopsy in naija? Lol. Most cancer facilities in nigeria lack such equipments. A mammogram is the best she can get. |
Re: BR€AST CANCER Amongst Nigerian Women by hephzi1991: 4:43pm On Oct 20, 2014 |
tollu:kudos to u for being very observant and persistent. Most of the doctors or surgeons u meet during consultation do not really know much about cancer and are most likely to be very dismissive. I don't know about hospitals in lagos, candygosh should be able to help u with that. This doesn't mean you should get all worked up in fear tho, it might just turn out to be something benign. Not all lumps are cancerous/malignant. |
Re: BR€AST CANCER Amongst Nigerian Women by hephzi1991: 4:50pm On Oct 20, 2014 |
Pinkyeyes:its a great thing it turned out benign. But its a wake up call to start living healthy and you'll be fine. |
Re: BR€AST CANCER Amongst Nigerian Women by Christine01(f): 4:57pm On Oct 20, 2014 |
Hi Fam, How was everyone's day? Mine was quite stressful. Ok, I had to tell one of my mentors about me wanting to visit UCH today and she adviced me to first visit the school clinic and I could always get a referral to UCH if need be. The process should be faster this way according to her. So, I went to the school clinic this morning and met the Doc I was asked to see. I got examined and there were no lumps. The Doc said I was good but since I complained about some pains, she might refer me to go get a mammogram done. I got 2 referrals from her, one for UCH and the other to ABC clinic. ABC stands for Access to Basic Care, an outfit by the state governor's wife Florence Ajimobi. Got to ABC clinic and I was told I couldn't run a mammography because of my age. One has to be above 40 to be able get a mammography according to them. The reason being that the breast tissues are still very dense and a mammogram result wouldn't show much. I was told the other option is to get a scan done instead of a mammogram and I got an appointment for Thursday to do that. That's a summary of how my day went. Suggestions and adivce are welcome @ Xcelsia, Candygosh, Hephzi, Odunharry, Osyxcel. |

Re: BR€AST CANCER Amongst Nigerian Women by Osyxcel(m): 5:46pm On Oct 20, 2014 |
Christine01: ABC @ New Adeoyo Hospital area, Ring Road?? Well, I don't know the quality of medical staff they've got there, but I'll suggest you take the scan first. If you're satisfied with scan and result, all well and good. If you're not, then you should see a specialist at UCH. All is well. 1 Like |
