In an interview on her sickbed with FMblog, Miss Felicia Wazi speaks about the excruciating pains she is going through while soliciting for help from kind hearted Nigerians, Cancer foundations and international health bodies to save her life by complete treatment.
Excerpts: How did you know you could be having cancer and what steps did you take?
“Well I am Felicia Wazi James Tsaku, an orphan, a single mother of a 12 year’s old boy and I will be 43 by June 30th. From the family of 8 and I’m the bread winner of the family that is why things are so difficult as it’s.
It all started in February 2022 when I felt a sharp pain around 3am in my back.
The following day I traced the pains and it leads me to my armpits. So I bought some tabs to drink and I noticed the pains were coming to my left breast so I stopped taking the drugs I bought and went to hospital. I did series of laboratory tests and by the time the results came out it was Cancerous already.
So I have been battling with it since then, from Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital Lafia, to Gombe Teaching Hospital. From Gombe Teaching Hospital to Jos University Teaching Hospital JUTH where am accessing treatment now.”
When and where was it confirmed that the ailment you have is cancer? And what were your immediate reactions?
“First, at Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital, DASH and later at Gombe Teaching Hospital.
“At first, it was so hard to believe that I have cancer. It took me months to believe that. And when I finally believe to be my Cross. I accepted it and life go on but there was never a day that I will not cry and ask God why me. I later say to myself that those people suffering from the same ailments are they not God’s loving children?
How is the treatment going? What stage are you in now and what is next?
“Cancer treatment is actually very painful and expensive. I do not wish an enemy to have such ailment.
“I have received assistance from close friends and family members, Nasarawa State Gov. Abdullahi Sule too gave me two hundred and fifty thousand naira (250,000) But I have spent so far all plus the immediate family savings of millions of naira and I am totally out of funds now.
I still have a long way to go. I need contributions or donations from people with compassionate hearts so that I can continue the treatment to the tone of ₦7,856,625,00.
“My high point in this battle is just the fact that I live in Akwanga community and I have little fund to start the treatment immediately I was diagnosed due to my background. I told you earlier that is why at time I feel depressed thinking about funds to complete treatment because my treatment still has a long way to go, which is the main reason for soliciting for funds from well-meaning people” she said.
