Ahmed Esleman, Mentee at Addis Menged Mentorship Program, shared on LinkedIn:
“My name is Ahmed.
I have been taking chemotherapy for over 2 years due to blood cancer.
I experienced a lot of pain when I took the first 4 rounds of chemo, but now I am in good health.
I would like to share my journey with you so that it will be a source of hope for all my fellow cancer patients. I wish you all the best and that you will be able to talk to me like I did!”
To which Abdu Adem Yesufe, Clinical Oncologist and Sub-Saharan African Regional Council member at ASCO, added:
“Ahmed Esleman is a powerful witness to the fact that cancer Is Not an Incurable disease.
Congratulations on your well-deserved completion of your study with exceptional performance.
Thank you for your courage in speaking out on a matter that many people keep to themselves like a taboo.
Wishing you a lasting cure.”
