“I’m sharing this for people to learn and be informed because cancer is now on the rise,” he said.
‘I first noticed a change in my urine’
According to the veteran actor, one of the first signs he noticed was a change in his urine stream.
He explained that his urine no longer came out in a single, normal stream but instead sprayed in different directions.
However, Baba Johunomi said he initially dismissed the development and did not consider it serious.
Things later became more difficult when he started experiencing trouble urinating.
It was at that point that he was advised to visit a hospital.
Doctors recommend further cancer test
The actor said he underwent several medical examinations and scans before being referred to the University College Hospital, UCH, in Ibadan.
According to him, a specialist at the hospital informed him that another cancer test was needed.
He said the procedure would involve taking a portion of his tissue for further examination.
Baba Johunomi, however, admitted that he was frightened by the recommendation and expressed his reluctance to undergo the procedure.
“I can’t allow the doctor to cut some parts of my body to do an advanced cancer test,” he said.
