I Survived Cancer! Vast of Bracket Tells His Incredible Story


Vast, the popular member of the boy band group in Nigeria known as Bracket was hit with cancer few months back. I can exclusively tell you that was after he visited Melbourne, Australia for a one time show which was nasty in first day but went down well after it was located in Sprinvale.

“It all started when we went on an American tour and I started feeling feverish. I found myself taking my bath with hot water even on a very hot day. That was when I started noticing something was wrong. I noticed that whenever I drank alcohol, the fever would come in an aggressive way. I eventually went to a hospital in London. The doctor told me not to worry that everything would be fine. He said to start the treatment, they would have to do something that would allow them take something from my spine. It was a very painful procedure.”

“There was a time that I felt I would die. My only fear was that I was not close to God. I was afraid that if I died, I would not make it to heaven. We musicians have a particular lifestyle. You may plan to be upright, but when you go into entertainment business, it would change you. I was regretting that I was not close to God. I did not want to go to hell. I felt so happy that I survived,” he said.

 “After the treatment, I did two other tests and the doctors confirmed that I was okay. After three months, I am meant to go for a PET scan. I could remember that before the treatment, we had a meeting and agreed that we had to bring £50,000. After the seventh chemotherapy session, the whole money finished. They had to send more £8,000 into the account I was using. The last time I went to withdraw money, what was left there was £120. So I used about £58,000."

Doctors also warmed him to stay away from unprotected sex for a total of 3 months since there was still some residues of the chemotherapy. But doctors have made him all clear and he is now living a normal life.

Awwww, we wish you all the best Vast.
