A Lagos woman named Adetutu Koleosho has shared how her husband sold his only property to pay for her cancer treatment. She was diagnosed with stage three cancer while she was six months pregnant.

What began as a small lump soon became a serious battle. Her husband made the painful decision to sell their only asset. Thanks to that sacrifice, Adetutu received the medical care she desperately needed.

Adetutu first noticed a small lump in her body while she was expecting her baby. At first, she did not think much about it. But the lump grew and became more worrying. Doctors later confirmed it was stage three cancer.

The news crushed the family. Adetutu had to make a difficult choice between her own health and protecting her unborn child. The treatment was intense and took a heavy toll on her body.

The medical journey included major surgery that led to the removal of her breast. Adetutu admitted that the fear was overwhelming. She did not know if she would live to see her baby grow. Her husband remained by her side through every hospital visit. Speaking together, the couple described the emotional pain and sleepless nights.

They said the cancer battle tested their faith, their marriage, and their finances.

Adetutu’s husband explained that selling their only property was not an easy choice. It was the family’s only real security. But he felt he had no other option. He said his wife’s life mattered more than any land or building. The proceeds from the sale covered chemotherapy, surgery, and follow-up care. Adetutu is now a survivor, but the family has to start building their life again from nothing.

Today, Adetutu Koleosho shares her story to create awareness about breast cancer. She urges other women to check their bodies regularly and not ignore small lumps. She also calls on the government and well-meaning Nigerians to help cancer patients who cannot afford treatment. Her message is simple: early detection saves lives, and no one should have to sell everything just to stay alive.
