City FM presenter, Uche Agbai, popularly known as Sensei Uche has revealed his current health status.
The on-air personality revealed that he has cancer and has been diagnosed with stage three nasal lymphoma.
Uche who has been off the air for a while due to his predicament took to his Instagram page to explain how the whole story began.
He said, “The story began sometime in December 2016. I had slowly come to realise that I was losing sense of hearing in my left ear. With the onset of persistent nasal congestion and a recurring sore throat, I sought medical attention. After visiting a number of hospitals all of whom subjected me to several tests, I was told I had simply been suffering from an infection.
“I began my treatment in the hopes the symptoms would clear. The symptoms worsened and I started having severe nose bleeds. I was then advised to consult an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist. After several scans, an MRI scan of my head revealed an unidentified growth in my upper nasal tract measuring 8.5cm and 3cm wide, my blood ran cold.
“The discovery cast my life into limbo, suddenly confronted with several frightening prognoses; potential blindness, partial deafness, anosmia or worse. After undergoing surgery, a biopsy of the mass returned the diagnosis; cancer. Analysis of my scans would show I had a stage 3 nasal lymphoma.” He said
Uche needs $21,000 in order to complete all the courses of chemotherapy to treat the ailment.
