CANCER! THE DEADLY MONSTER AMONGST US.

CANCER, CANCER, CANCER, the deadly monster amongst us is slowly but steadily breaking down the country’s human resources. As we all know, it is no respecter of social status, age race or religion. In this part of the world it thrives first on ignorance, then on self-denial and then on wrong diagnosis. And for the hapless victims, the high cost of treatment, with the added burden of ill equipped hospitals and diagnostics canters have only compounded their woes. Cancers are indeed here with us. And the list of its victims is elongating. From Human right activist, Gani Fawehinmi, to the wife of former head of state, Mrs. Maryam Babangida, Senate leader in the second Republic, Dr. Olusola saraki, Remi Abiola, actress and wife of late Businessman and politician Cheif M.K.O Abiola,  Alaere Alaibe wife of bayelsa-born politician Timi Alaibe, Yinka craig (NTA) ace broadcaster, musician turned evangelist sonny okosuns,  Mrs Clara Oshiomole wife of Governor Adams oshiomhole of Edo state,  and now the Ekiti state deputy Governor Mrs olufunmilayo olayinka,  just to mention a few I could remember now. There are still plethora of others who lost the battle  to this monster cancer. It is pitiable though that the only way to reduce cancer mortality is if detected and treated early through early diagnosis and screening programmes.  No other Scientifically established way except it is discovered tomorrow. Candid advise, EXAMINE YOURSELF TODAY.
