Is cancer a death sentence?
Cancer, according to the Cancer for Enlightenment and
Support Foundation, is not a death sentence because it can be treated medically.
Mr. Adegboyega Adepitan, Chairman of the organization's Board of Trustees, revealed this while giving N450,000 to several cancer
patients at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital's children's ward.
Adepitan published his cancer-survivor success story in
2014, which inspired him to co-found the organization to educate others about
the hazards of the virus and how to avoid it.
According to him, the food we consume has a significant
impact on our chance of developing cancer. Healthy nutrition should be
prioritized because it helps nourish the immune system.
"We must be careful about what we eat because it is the
leading cause of cancer."
"Secondly, if they detect a hint of malignancy, they
should seek medical attention right once; they should not wait so long that things
become problematic."
"Cancer is not a death sentence; it all depends on
where you start and how soon you start when you discover cancer traces,"
he stated.
Adepitan claimed junk foods are cancer-friendly when asked
what kind of meals to avoid.
He also cautioned against consuming too many sweets and
spices.
According to Adepitan, the NGO has launched some
cancer outreach programs and provided philanthropic support to cancer
patients in need of surgery and chemotherapy across the country.
Mr Wale Jegede, Dr Bisola Agbaje, Mrs Bose Adepitan, Mr
Segun Olulade, Mr Ola Oresanya, Mr Olumide Oduwole, and Rev. Tony Akinyemi are
among the foundation's BOT members.
