LUPUS: After revealing she had few years to live, Afolabi begins treatment

Nollywood actress Kemi Afolabi is now in the US undergoing treatment for lupus which she announced months ago when she revealed how much time she had left to live.

She shared pictures of herself at the hospital on her Instagram account.

“I commenced my lupus treatment journey today 06/30/2022 with @hopkinsmedicine Alihamdulilah.

“Some beautiful souls made this happen, God bless you all. Wish me luck. #warrior,” she captioned the pictures.

Lupus is a disease that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks tissues and organs.

In January, she revealed in an interview how she already wrote her will and booked a space with Ebony vault this year 2021.

“But God showed me how faithful he is despite my unfaithfulness. Who am I that God is so mindful of my existence? Me, ordinary sand? That was a toss around from a private hospital to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, to Army barracks hospital WAEC and finally LUTH where I spent over three months!

“Finally, I was diagnosed with a condition that has no cure but can be managed by medications and takes me in and out of the hospital at will (SLE). Fluid blocked my lungs, affected my heart from functioning well which was the reason for my breathlessness and that is caused by the condition diagnosed! Surgery was the only option to drain out the fluid fast.”
