Help Save Abena’s Life
My name is Abena Pomaa Asiedu. I am 30 years of age and the COO of Mikwats Fresh Squeeze, a natural fruit juice processing company in Ghana which is a family owned business.
Early February, I nearly had a fatal accident when I couldn’t see a car approaching.My cousin took the wheels afterwards.
Next day I went to an eye clinic and I was given some tests to run and bring the results. I later started experiencing severe headaches and periodic blackouts.
I was then referred to the korle bu teaching hospital for further investigations and series of scans, tests and MRIs were conducted. I was diagnosed with Pituitary Macro-adenoma with mass effects blinding my left eye and gradually creeping onto my right eye. I needed an emergency surgery considering the severity of the tumor .
I had the 1st surgery on 29th April, 2021 and was following through with the mandatory reviews and visits to specialists. Barely some weeks after surgery my eye sight hadn’t improved. I kept having periodic headaches and my menses wouldn’t stop even till date.My endocrinologist also got alarmed and requested for an MRI immediately because my hormonal levels were extremely low.
On 2nd July 2021, the scan was done and reports showed that the tumor post surgery is as big as before surgery.
In a confused state as to why the tumor was still present. A meeting was organized between myself, my family and the team of surgeons that operated on me.
It came out during the meeting that they couldn’t take out all of it out and therefore suggested I will have to go through the same procedure 4-6 times in order for me to be out of danger.
After series of conversations, both parties agreed I seek a 2nd opinion and do the surgery abroad. The doctors got a hospital for me in New York, USA and sent all my scans and MRIs.
The hospital in New York assigned a neurosurgeon to my case and thankfully they are well equipped to combine three procedures in one surgery.
I am therefore appealing to you to come to my aid. The total cost of my treatment is estimated at US$283,000 and my family cannot raise this amount.
I know we are in difficult times but please help me by donating any amount to my GOFundme account. No amount is too little.
Please help me. Please save my life.
