My aunt, Mrs. Ibrahim Selimat Folasade, is fighting for her life after being diagnosed through a tissue biopsy with Grade II Chondrosarcoma (Stage III); a rare and aggressive cancer affecting the right side of her face.When we first launched this campaign, doctors had not yet performed the biopsy needed to make a definitive diagnosis. Based on the information available at the time, her condition was believed to be a severe necrotizing facial infection. After further specialist evaluation and laboratory testing at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex (OAUTHC), Ile-Ife, the biopsy confirmed that she is battling Grade II Chondrosarcoma, a rare cancer that requires urgent, specialized treatment.The tumour has become large and ulcerated, causing severe pain, spontaneous bleeding, tissue destruction, and a serious infection. It has made eating, speaking and carrying out everyday activities increasingly difficult. Because she also lives with Type 2 diabetes, treating the infection and preparing her for surgery is even more challenging.Doctors have also discovered a separate mass inside her skull that is pressing on her optic nerves. While further investigations are ongoing to determine its exact nature, it may explain the significant loss of vision she has experienced, adding another serious concern to her condition.A team of specialists has developed a comprehensive treatment plan that includes:• Radiotherapy to help control and shrink the tumour before surgery.• Major maxillofacial surgery to remove the cancer.• Complex reconstructive plastic surgery to restore the affected part of her face after the tumour has been removed.• Additional radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery if required.The estimated cost of her treatment, including investigations, surgery, intensive care, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, medications and reconstructive care, is approximately ₦8,641,400.This family has already endured unimaginable hardship. She lost her beloved husband, the father of her children last year. And while still trying to cope with that heartbreaking loss, she is now facing the greatest battle of her life. Every available family resource has been exhausted in the fight to keep her alive.Today, we are reaching out with hope and humility.We are asking for your support to help give her a chance to receive the treatment she urgently needs.
