The big C, the dreaded C, that soul destroying word we do everything possible (or at least try) to avoid. Yes, Cancer!
In seeking to find some cause for optimism, no matter how faint, we speak to Moji Animashaun, an experienced cancer treatment professional with over 30 years' experience as a radiation therapist.
Moji retired as a Deputy Director in the Oncology unit at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital in 2018 after practising in 5 different hospitals on 3 different continents. She has also spent several years teaching and constructing radiation therapy curricula in both the United States and Nigeria. In 2013, Moji founded St. Cyril Cancer Treatment Foundation, an organization whose mission is to provide quality cancer treatment to Africans, starting in Nigeria.
We discuss:
- cancer in Nigeria
- the myths, denials and burgeoning awareness
- the glimmer of hope and good news
- treatment - to stay in Nigeria or hot foot it out
- chemo - is it worth the angst?
- and of course, the guest's hidden bits - bucket list, iffy jokes and all.
This episode will get you thinking, and evaluating.
Enjoy!
