A fashion designer has recounted her harrowing experience of being wrongly diagnosed with cancer and undergoing multiple rounds of chemotherapy at a hospital in Benin City, Edo state.
The designer shared her story in a video posted on social media on Thursday, October 17.
She said the hospital told her she had stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma and that the cancer was malignant.
She added that the doctors warned her, “You will not be able to have children after the treatment because of how aggressive your cancer is.”
Believing her condition was urgent, she began treatment. She said the hospital treated numerous patients, including youths and children, and she watched many of them die.
She recalled,
“I also almost died during the aggressive chemotherapy called Doxorubicin but I was resuscitated.”
The intensive treatment took a toll on her finances and business, causing clients to complain and ask for their clothes back.
This prompted her to return to Lagos and continue treatment at a government-owned hospital.
At the Lagos hospital, doctors discovered she had never had cancer.
She said the initial hospital initially refused to release her tissue sample for a second opinion, and she had to threaten them before they complied.
When the tissue was finally released, she discovered, it was a man’s tissue mass that they had given me.

Reflecting on the ordeal, she said, “It’s crazy that a doctor would do this to me. They damaged me, they finished me,” showing the burnt scalp she says is a side effect of chemotherapy.
She said the hospital has since proposed an out-of-court settlement, but she declined and vowed to pursue the case in court.
