#SaveJude: Brain tumour patient Jude Ibezim Osemeke passes on

Such a sad day. Brain tumour patient, Ibezim Jude Osemeke has lost his battle with cancer. He died this morning in Jos where he had been recuperating after his surgery in India. He returned from India in November and had been doing well until a few weeks ago when he relapsed.

You all remember Jude, right? We raised money for him on LIB sometime last year. The guy music producer, Jude Okoye donated N1million to. If you missed it read about him HERE and HERE.
Can't believe he's gone. Rest in peace, dear Jude. So heartbreaking..

    Oh Jeez! This is sad. So that's how he lost his life just like that. Life's unfair. God knows best though.

    This is sad rip

    People shouldn't always run to India for treatments bcos most doctors in India arent real doctors, a family sends a sibling to America to study medicine and that sibling now teaches the other siblings what he/she has learnt, please do your research

    May he rest in peace. As a doctor, I want to make you guys understand something that many Nigerians do not know about cancer and many chronic illnesses that people travel to India to get help for. When you have cancer, you don't get a one-time treatment and go home and think everything is now OK. You need to be monitored very closely for many many years b/c even a little infection can kill you b/c your immunity is low from the cancer drugs you get. You have to be monitored to make sure the cancer has not come back (we call it relapse). These people we raise money for to go to India are given the false hope that $12,000 or so is all you need and you are fixed and we all scramble to raise money for them only for them to die a few months later and we say the Indian doctors don't know what they are doing. They know exactly what they are doing but they are also preying on uninformed Nigerians. The next time we raise money for people, let's bear in mind that that is just a starting point and unless there are plans for that person to continue staying abroad for years, they will likely die if they come back to Nigeria where there is no expertise to keep following them up.
