My doctor thought I was dead, asked my sister how my burial went –Stage four breast cancer survivor - Punch Newspapers

Ethel Olomu is a stage four breast cancer survivor, having battled the disease for 11 years. Ethel who is now a cancer advocate says while surviving stage four breast cancer is no easy feat, it is possible if patients can ignore shame, refuse to give up and seek help from experts. ANGELA ONWUZOO reports

Ethel, however, said her determination to overcome the disease and not be bothered about shame was crucial to her surviving stage four breast cancer – an uncommon feat., Ethel says surviving any type of cancer goes beyond receiving treatment. “Later, in one of the hospitals, I was booked for surgery. It was an outpatient surgery and they removed the lump. They said the surgery done was lumpectomy.

“But the whole ordeal started nine weeks after the surgery in 2010. One night, I woke up by 3 am to use the restroom and I noticed that my breast was swollen like a balloon. “The only thing that I could do that night was to call the doctor that did the surgery. He was surprised that I called him at that late hour.

The breast cancer advocate went on, “But the next morning, I couldn’t walk because the breast was too heavy.

Very inspiring story. God works wonders indeed

When I saw the headline, I needed something to make sense of the story and I found it, the GOD FACTOR. She didn’t talk about it much but trust me, it made a world of difference for her.
