Music star Banky W undergoes third cancer surgery…Thanks fiancée, fans

Nigerian R&B singer, Bankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, took to his Instagram page to share a testimony of how he had a successful skin cancer tumour surgery.

Banky W, who was full of thanks in his lengthy post, opened up on how he had started the cancer battle 10 years ago.

He thanked his fiancee, Adesuwa Etomi, for staying by his side and also urged his fans not to panic, as his story is a testimony.

He wrote, “A wise man once said this: ‘Scars. A sign that you had been hurt. A sign that you had been healed.’ Scroll through the pictures to see mine.

“I’m sharing these because they’re proof of what God has brought me through and because somewhere out there, I know there’s someone who needs to hear this.

“For those who’ve been wondering why I’ve been away (for) so long, I had my third surgery on a rare strain of skin cancer tumours in my shoulder last month. The first two times were over 10 years ago, then it recently resurfaced. But this isn’t a sad story as much as it is a reminder, and a testimony.

“A reminder that you should never take life for granted. You only get one 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. You never know when your time will be up; so, don’t waste another minute.

“It’s 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 don’t deserve it, but He saves me time and again, anyway. I keep saying I need to write a book. I really, really do.Punch
