Nigerian medical doctor and Influencer, Chinonso Egemba, AKA, Aproko Doctor has revealed that he was diagnosed with a brain tumour in December 2022.
He made the disclosure via his social media page on Monday, January 16, 2023.
Egemba added that he battled for his life throughout December last year.
Explaining the height of the infection, he stated that he went blind in one of his eyes on December 5, 2022.
He said:
“Throughout December of 2022, I was fighting for my life. I went blind in one eye on the 3rd of Dec. 2022 & on the 5th, I was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
“Today I stand here before you to share my story. It has been a long road to recovery but each day is better than the last.”
According to him, he underwent brain surgery in Nigeria with the help of a neurosurgeon named Dr Tayo Ojo.
“It was Dr. Tayo Ojo, a neurosurgeon here in Nigeria that did the surgery. So many people begged me to leave the country and get the surgery done but something kept me back here because I still had trust in us. We just need more investment in our health sector.”
