Vast
Nwanchukwu
Ozioko, popularly known as Vast from the popular singing group, Bracket, has
been diagnosed with Lymphoma, a type of cancer of the blood.
The singer was diagnosed in February this year after
suffering serious body pains, headaches, non stop coughing, loss of weight and
weakness while in Paris for a show. He flew to London where a test conducted
determined he had cancer.
Vast has been receiving treatment at
the Wellington Hospital in the UK since February and there are reports he's
responding very well to treatment. He has undergone 4 circles of chemotherapy
with each circle costing about N1.4million. He will do a few more before
returning to Nigeria next month.
According to sources close to the singer, the sad part is that he actually went
to a hospital in Nigeria late last year when he started losing weight and
feeling weak.
They conducted a test on him but it
took them forever to come back with the test result. Over three months
actually. By then the cancer had spread to his liver. But thankfully he's
getting better and will return home soon.
