MY BATTLE WITH PROSTATE CANCER- PAT UTOMI. (PHOTO).


My battle with prostate cancer---- Pat Utomi

Social critic and political economy professor, Pat Utomi, yesterday went public with his battle with prostate cancer over the last one year.

Utomi said on his Twitter handle @UtomiPat  that he was diagnosed with the ailment last year  following  a biopsy,which is a procedure to remove a piece of tissue or a sample of cells from the body for testing.

He said: “I am moved this dawn of light to confront an epidemic under the carpet with great harm to men. Prostate cancer is bringing death and misery to many men. Had they been forewarned the misery containment and even chances of cure could be much enhanced, like women have with breast CA.

“When a biopsy showed I was positive last year I began treatment with a cancer Centre with a branch in Ikeja and VI. I sometimes came from election campaigns to the Ikeja Centre near the Airport. The Doctors would try to smuggle me out from the back. The well -known shielded?”

“Once elections were over, my young nephews and cousins, Doctors in Europe and the US , joined forces with the Lakeshore people and decided they wanted me in their direct care. That’s how come it seemed I went quiet cause they controlled my phones to reduce stress.

“Did not see why it was taboo to say you were in a battle with Cancer. The more I talked about it the more I found many of my age in similar circumstances. It almost seems like an epidemic for Nigerian men over 60. Not talking makes them lose the benefit of early detection.”
