Cameroonian/Nigerian born singer and entrepreneur, Reprudencia Sonkey, popularly known as Dencia, has recounted how she spotted a lump on one of her breast.
The beauty entrepreneur noted that it happened to her at the age of twelve. Dencia said she was forced to check her breasts when one of her ‘Seniors’ back in school narrated how she spotted a lump in her own breast.
“ When I was 12 going on 13, I was seating in my dorm room in Cpc Bali (Cameroon) when an older girl who was abt 18 “Belinda”was discussing her breast lump removal surgery,My skinny ass had big boobies & as I heard the story, I immediately touched my breasts & realized my right breast had something extra in it,i went to the nurse who sent me home immediately, I’m lucky to be raised by a grandma who was very hands on with my health, things went so fast & I was ready for surgery with Dr Ashu in Yaounde, Cameroon. When the surgery was done it was risky cuz two drs operated on me at the same time Nose, throat & boobies??The next thing was testing the lump for cancerous cells, Yop my first time hearing abt cancer, I remember taking the big ass lump 2 the lab & it was tested, thank God it was just a big ass lump. I write this cuz a lot of young girls like me in boarding schools away from their parents need older girls like Belinda to tell their story so young girls like me can learn & action is taken fast”.
She used the medium to encourage young girls in school to be curious about their health.
Hear her:”A lot of girls don’t get lucky, some end up with cancerous lump which can turn into CANCER. U are never too young & never too old, let’s be our sister’s keeper, I was just a curious young girl, a lot of girls aren’t that curious.I ended up with a keloid scar for many years & I noticed last night it was completely gone, u can’t even tell I had this surgery which is super crazy, I was treating it will stretch mark cream from whitenicious & lightening it & it’s completely gone which is rare. Thank God”.
