Blessing CEO shares scan results, medical expert clarifies it's not confirmed cancer diagnosis
Blessing "Blessing CEO" Okoro returned to Instagram and posted what she described as cancer and scan test results, drawing reactions from Nigerians. Premium Times consulted medical doctor Chibuki Aigbe who clarified that she shared a radiology report, not a confirmed diagnosis. Terms like 'fat stranding' and 'subcutaneous emphysema' don't confirm Stage 4 cancer and can be caused by non-cancerous factors like inflammation or post-surgical effects. CT scans aren't specifically designed for cancer diagnosis and require additional tests like ultrasounds or biopsies for definitive answers. The doctor emphasized that 'Stage 4' is a serious diagnosis requiring conclusive evidence, not just imaging reports. Nigerians reacted with skepticism, questioning the authenticity of the results and her motives.
