“I’m sharing this for people to learn and be informed because cancer is now on the rise.”
The actor described the initial problem he noticed.
“I first noticed a change in my urine. I was having a splitting urine stream, my urine sprays into different directions instead of single flow. But I didn’t take it serious,” he said.
He added that the situation worsened over time.
“After some time, I started having trouble urinating before I was advised to visit the hospital. I have done many tests and scans. I was referred to UCH in Ibadan where the specialist said they needed to cut part of my flesh to do another cancer test,” he said.
Expressing concern over the next step, Johunomi said he is scared of undergoing the procedure noting that, “I can’t allow the doctor to cut some parts of my body to do an advanced cancer test.”
