Nigerian relationship expert Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has opened up on her battle with breast cancer.
In an Instagram live session with Daddy Freeze, she said she was diagnosed with breast cancer at a Nigerian hospital, but doesn’t know the stage she is in because it wasn’t clearly written on her report.
According to her, she discovered a lump in July last year and was later told in early January that it was cancerous. She said she began preparing for a mastectomy to determine how far the condition had spread.
Blessing said she isn’t ready to share her hospital report yet, but will share it soon.
When asked about the cost of the surgery, she admitted that she doesn’t have a specific amount. This led to a lawyer on Instagram Live questioning why she was already asking the public for money, and Blessing said she didn’t know what to expect but knew she would need money for surgery, though she exaggerated things.
She explained that she was trying to plan due to the uncertainty surrounding treatment, including possible additional procedures and therapy. She also clarified that she didn’t state a fixed amount when asking for help.
