Actress Kemi Afolabi diagnosed with incurable disease


Actress Kemi Afolabi says she was diagnosed of an incurable disease

All is not well with veteran Nollywood actress, Kemi Afolabi, after she took to her Instagram page to reveal that she was diagnosed with an incurable disease in 2021.

The talented actress, who could not hold back her praises to her creator despite her condition, said she was on a reflection of her journey through the outgone year.

According to Kemi, she had undergone several Covid-19 tests as she was showing related symptoms and that she was on oxygen for about a month.

She revealed that she sold her properties after spending all her savings because she knew the thoughts of taking her condition to the public eye or soliciting for funds at that time would kill her faster.

The actress however stated that she was diagnosed with an incurable condition but one that is manageable with the regular use of drugs.

Posting a video to accompany her post, the actress added that her life had changed forever though she remains thankful to God that sheā€™s still breathing even after she wrote her will and booked a space with a popular cemetery and undertakers, Ebony Vault.

ā€œI wrote my will and booked a space with Ebony Vault this year 2021 but God showed me how faithful he is despite my unfaithfulness. Who am I that God is so mindful of my existence???? Me, ordinary sand?????

ā€œThat was a toss around from my private hospital to LASUTH, to Army Barracks Hospital, WAEC and finally LUTH where I spent over three months!

ā€œI did Covid test every 48hrs at LASUTH emergency because I was short of breath, was on oxygen for about a month, still no diagnosis after several tests conducted.

ā€œOnly a mad man says there is no God ooo. I sold my properties after spending all my savings because I knew the thoughts of bringing my condition to the public eye or beg for funds at the time would kill me faster!!!

ā€œFinally I was diagnosed of a condition that has no cure but can be managed by medications and takes me in and out of the hospital at will (SLE).

ā€œFluid blocked my lungs, affected my heart from functioning well which was the reason for my breathlessness and that is caused by the condition diagnosed! Surgery was the only option to drain out the fluid fast.

ā€œMy life has changed forever but I am thankful I am still breathing. Being in an industry that places high value on appearance, itā€™s been a struggle taking medications that helps ease the pains but affect my weight and people will constantly remind you of how FAT youā€™ve become without hesitations.

ā€œThe year 2021 has been tough! But with God showing up for me and some special people by my side, I made it through.

Alhamdulilah robil alameen
