My name is Adebayo (Bayo) Oladele; I am a cancer survivor and would like to share my experience with you, the reader of this text, regarding the series of battles I fought against cancer, the barrage of treatments that I underwent, the notions which people have about cancer, the Art of Caregiving to cancer patients and how God rescued me from the cold hand of death. My wife and I co-authored the book – “Second Chance: Surviving the Battles of Cancer.”

“Only the affected knows the impact.” In this case, “only the patient can tell” is the summary of the cancer treatment experience, and the same may be said for the primary caregiver. It’s almost impossible to describe the real feeling of a cancer patient, especially during the critical periods of the treatments, and there are indeed many critical times for any cancer patient.

Cancer is no respecter of sex, faith, colour, culture, age or society. When we give an account of our ordeals and journey through victory, we need to include everybody as much as possible while our individuality remains unshaken.

In many cases, the emotion of the patient tends to colour and overshadow the message that the author was trying to convey or pass across. In other situations, the view will be skewed towards a sect, faith, or culture, which usually makes the focus of the write-up to be forgotten.

By having a clear mind, taking every sign and symptom seriously and acting on them at their early stages, and following the established and scientifically proven medical processes, we hope that certain cancers will soon be downgraded to a non-terminal chronic disease. It is my hope that this write-up will help to shed more light on the subject of cancer and remove some of the superstitions around it.

I am available to provide supports and words of encouragement, please contact us today.
