Good morning, @adeleke212. I’m filled with sadness for you and your family. It is very difficult when you learn that you have an illness which may end your life. You are faced with a range of emotions that most people can’t imagine. I have experienced this myself and found the most important thing was to open up and talk to your family and friends. It’s your time to make wishes known. Share stories and memories with friends and loved ones. Allow your family to help you with decisions so that you don’t feel so alone.

I realize cancer care is extremely limited in Nigeria and health insurance all but non-existent. However, it is important to talk with a doctor about how your cancer journey will proceed. Will there be a hospital if you need it? Do you have family who can be with you for support?

I’d like to learn more about you and your life. Would you like to share a little more about yourself with me? Do you have a large family? Children? What types of activities do you enjoy doing daily?
