The herbalist attending to Gloria

Martins Ifijeh chronicles the life of a young ambitious Nigerian woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer, but due to ignorance and high cost of treatment, opted for herbal treatment in Jos, as against orthodox treatment, which then worsened her condition. She was however lucky to retrace her steps on time, and she is presently accessing proper healthcare in Abuja

November 2018 will be an unforgettable month for Gloria Chinyere Okwu; a beautiful and ambitious Nigerian woman, who had hoped to end the year fulfilling some of her dreams in good health. But life had something else up its sleeves. She woke up one morning and noticed a lump under the skin of her breast.

Gloria told THISDAY that she didn’t know what to make of it rather than to approach her doctor for advice. She prayed it should be a mere lump or an insect bite. But she was wrong. Upon examination and a scan, the diagnosis showed it was cancer.
