‘It Has Reached My Bones’ – Popular Nollywood Actress Battling Cancer Cries For Help
Nollywood actress, Cynthia Anijekwu has opened up about battling cancer, appealing to Nigerians for financial assistance.
NEWSNGR reports that Cynthia, in a video via her Instagram page, disclosed that she was first diagnosed with cancer in 2023, when she underwent surgery followed by chemotherapy in a bid to halt the disease.
According to the movie star, the doctors initially managed the condition after the treatment, but the cancer later returned and has since spread to her bones, requiring more intensive care, including radiation therapy and another surgery.
Cynthia Anijekwu added that the cancer has also affected her breasts
“I have cancer in 2023 (sic). I did my surgery and took chemotherapy, but later it came back again. I’ve been in and out of the hospital. The doctor recently told me it has reached my bones, and the treatment is now much more expensive.
“I need to live. I need to survive. I’m asking Nigerians to please help me. Anyone that can help, please, I need help. Even my hands have swollen. The cancer has affected both breasts. I need to live. Please help me. I need to survive.
“Your one naira, your two naira can add up to something reasonable for me to get the proper treatment for this cancer. I’m begging you, please help me,” she pleaded.
Before Cynthia’s health challenge became public, she built her career in Nollywood, featuring in several English- and Igbo-language productions.
