Controversial media personality, Blessing Okoro, widely known as Blessing CEO, has revealed that she is battling stage four breast cancer and is seeking financial assistance for urgent medical treatment.
In an emotional video shared online, the social media figure, who appeared visibly weakened and bald, disclosed that the disease has spread to both breasts, with doctors now considering surgical removal.
According to her, the diagnosis has left her physically, emotionally, and financially drained, forcing her to reach out to the public for help.
“I have been diagnosed with breast cancer. At this point, I urgently need surgery, including a possible amputation, to stop the spread and determine how far the tumour has gone,” she said.
She explained that she initially discovered a lump in her right breast last year and sought medical attention.
At the time, tests reportedly indicated it was non-cancerous, leading her to delay removal due to other personal commitments.
However, subsequent examinations revealed a more serious condition.
“When I was ready to have it removed, another test was carried out, and it was discovered that the lump was cancerous and had spread to the left breast. We are now considering an amputation,” she disclosed.
Blessing CEO said her health challenges have prevented her from working, leaving her resources depleted. She described her decision to go public as difficult but necessary.
“It was a very difficult decision to come online, but in a situation like this, you can feel powerless. I have not been able to work, and my resources have been exhausted,” she said.
Appealing to her followers and the general public, she urged anyone who has been positively impacted by her content to support her in any way possible.
“If my words have ever had a positive impact on your life, this is the time to show it. Nothing is too small. I just want to be well,” she added.
Her disclosure has since sparked reactions online, with many calling for support and raising awareness about the importance of early detection and timely treatment of breast cancer.
