“I’m a lupus patient. It can’t be cured. “All you have to do now is take your pills for the rest of your life.”
At a point I was exhausted after spending so much, I said i will stop and just wait for death to come ….but I brazed up for my daughter and have to continue spending the N1.2million on the medication doze weekly to survive….I have sold my cars, property, capital for business etc…..and Funke Akindele has been helpful, Toyin Abraham, Mercy Aigbe and others reached out and have been there…but I still need more support”
Quoting her doctor, she said, “Make sure you are with your loved ones. At least, you still have up to five years.”
