Nigerian R&b singer, rapper, actor and writer, Oluwabankole Wellington popularly known as Banky W, has survived cancer of the skin and he recently had his third surgery.
The ace singer, shared the news via his Instagram page on Thursday, where he disclosed how he battled with the disease for ten years.
He wrote
โA wise man once said this: โScars. A sign that you had been hurt. A sign that you had been healed.โ Scroll through the pictures to see mine.
โIโm sharing these because theyโre proof of what God has brought me through. And because somewhere out there, I know thereโs someone who needs to hear this.
โFor those whoโve been wondering why Iโve been away so long..I had my 3rd surgery on a rare strain of skin cancer tumours in my shoulder last month. The first 2 times were over 10 yrs ago, then it recently resurfaced. But this isnโt a sad story as much as it is a reminder, and a testimony.
โA reminder that you should never take life for granted. You only get 1 shot. Some people went to sleep and never woke up. Many others have lost the battle to cancer and other illnesses. Many are still fighting.
โYou never know when your time will be up so donโt waste another minute. Itโs also a testimony about the goodness of God. I think I had to go through this again to remember how merciful God is to me; Lord knows I donโt deserve it but He saves me time and again anyway. I keep saying I need to write a book. I really, really do.
โThe past few weeks of recovery have been tough, but beautiful. Iโm finally back on my feet, feeling stronger and ready to get back to life.
โIโm thankful for life, provision and healing. Please dont feel bad, or msg me with any worries.. God has done it, just thank Him for me.โ
