GET WELL SOON: Vast of Bracket diagnosed with cancer of the blood

Such a sad story to report but it will definitely end well. Ase !!! . Nwanchukwu Ozioko, popularly known as Vast from the popular singing group, Bracket, has been diagnosed with Lymphoma, a type of cancer of the blood. (Please Check it On Google)

The singer was diagnosed in February this year after suffering serious body pains, headaches, non stop coughing, loss of weight and weakness while in Paris for a show. He flew to London where a test conducted determined he had cancer. Vast has been receiving treatment at the Wellington Hospital in the UK since February and I hear he's responding very well to treatment. He has undergone 4 circles of chemotherapy with each circle costing about N1.4million. He will do a few more before returning to Nigeria next month. 

The sad part I hear from sources close to the singer is that he actually went to a hospital in Nigeria late last year when he started losing weight and feeling weak. They conducted a test on him but it took them forever to come back with the test result. Over three months actually. By then the cancer had spread to his liver. But thankfully he's getting better and will return home soon. Please say a prayer for him. More photos after the Break

Be Aware: Potatoe Chips Increases Cancer Risk

EATING chips just ONCE a week could raise men’s cancer risk by a third, scientists say.

A single portion every seven days may heighten the danger of prostate cancer by 30 to 37 per cent, according to a new study.

Other fatty foods including fried chicken, battered fish and doughnuts may have the same effect — and cause the most aggressive types of tumours.

The findings arose out of research in the US city of Seattle, where 3,000 men were quizzed on their eating habits.

However Cancer Research UK said a single survey was not enough to conclude “for certain” if there was a link.

Meanwhile a New York probe into the causes of acne has found spots may be made worse by eating too much potato, white bread, pasta and dairy food.
