Nollywood actress Cynthia Anijekwu has appealed to Nigerians for financial support after revealing that she is battling cancer for the second time.
The actress made the emotional appeal in a video that began circulating on social media on Tuesday.
Anijekwu disclosed that although she underwent surgery and chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer in 2023, the disease has returned and spread to other parts of her body, including her bones.
She said the rising cost of treatment has become overwhelming and appealed to members of the public for financial assistance to enable her continue her medical care.
“I had cancer in 2023. I underwent surgery and chemotherapy, but it came back. I’ve been in and out of the hospital, and the doctor recently told me it has spread to my bones. The treatment is now much more expensive,” she said.
The actress also revealed that the cancer has affected both of her breasts and pleaded with Nigerians to support her, saying every contribution, no matter how small, would help her access the treatment she urgently needs.
“I need to live. I need to survive. I’m asking Nigerians to please help me. Anyone who can help, please, I need help. Even my hands have swollen. Your one naira or two naira can make a difference. Please help me,” she appealed.
