Nwanchukwu Ozioko known as Vast from the Nigerian singing Duo Bracket, has been diagnosed with Lymphoma, ( is a type of blood cancer that occurs
when B or T lymphocytes, the none blood cells that form a part of the immune
system and help protect the body from infection and disease, begin behaving abnormally)
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 I hear he's responding very well to treatment. He has undergone 4 cycles of chemotherapy with each cycle costing about N1.4million. He will do a few more before returning to Nigeria next month.
The sad part I hear from sources close to the singer 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 he's getting better and will return home soon.
may God grant him full recovery by his grace (amen)
