WEST POINT, MONROVIA-Bandu Ward, who have lived with breast cancer for six years is pleading for help to end her ordeal.
Living in agony, Bandu said her family have tried for several years to ensure that she gets the best treatment and recovers from the strange beast pains she has been experiencing. But their efforts have so far yielded no result. She and her family are appealing to philanthropists, the government and humanitarians to come to their aid.
Bendu Woard spoke in an exclusive interview with Mark Rogers. She explained how she feels so much pains at nights; so much that it becomes impossible to take a nap (short sleep). “I’m suffering, the pain is too much, I can’t even sleep in the night.” she narrated.
Bandu said all started when she began feeling a strange pain in her breast. Thereupon. she started visiting clinics that described some prescriptions for her. According to her, the pain would go for some time after following all the prescriptions. To her surprise, she would begin to experience the same pain after the medication, with more intensity than the initial pain.
When she could not get the need help from local clinics, she, with the help of her family decided to visit bigger health facilities. She first visited JFK, where doctors examined her and recommended additional tests-body scan.
“Yes, my Lil Sister and her husband took me at the JFK Hospital where doctors did some tests but they said I needed a final test which could be like a total scan of my entire body. They sent us at the Catholic Hospital. But, since then, my sister husband hands went down and so we have not gone there.” Bandu Woard told Mark Rogers.
Her schedule of additional tests was to happen in December of last years, but things turn out negative when her source of support faced challenges. “That was in December 2024, Bandu explains.
Bandu is asking citizens of her native county, Grand Cape Mount, including those living out of Liberia to help her get the treatment she needs, saying, the pain is too much for her to bear for another year.
Madam Bendu Woard is a daughter of Cape Mount precisely Madina Town, Madina Township, in Garwula District. She can be contacted for more details/information/help on 231-777877719/888725447.
