A Nigerian woman has reportedly refused a blood transfusion on religious grounds, despite over ₦30 million being donated to support her treatment.
This was announced by X influencer, Sir Dickson who launched a donation campaign for the woman battling cancer.
According to Sir Dickson, the woman identified as @auntieesther pepper girl on X (formely Twitter), had her blood levels optimized for the next phase of care.
However, she rejected a blood transfusion, which was required before chemotherapy, due to her religious beliefs..
Thanks to you all that have been supportive with donation and care for Aunty EstherLatest update is that she is responding to care.
Her blood levels are being optimized for the next phase of care.
She was offered the option of blood transfusion before she can begin chemo, but she declined due to her faith.
She is a Jehovah’s witness and thus, opting for other alternatives. Though it will take longer and cost more, we have to respect her religious belief.
The medical team has a diagnosis now, which is currently guiding her line of care.
All funds will be channelled towards her medical bills and hospital care. Once again, thank you for your kindness
