Popular Yoruba actress, Kemi Afolabi has revealed in a recent interview that her doctor told her she has five years left to live after.
Afolabi said this in an interview on Friday granted to Chude Jideonwo, disclosing that she was diagnosed with lupus.
Lupus is a disease that occurs when your body’s immune system attacks your own tissues and organs (autoimmune disease). Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems — including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs
The actress said that the illness has cost her a lot, adding that she had to sell some of her properties.
She revealed that the doctor broke the news to her a year ago and she does not know how long she has left.
Afolabi, who quoted her doctor, said, “Make sure you are with your loved ones. At least, you still have up to five years to live.”
“I have lupus. It’s not curable. I just have to take medications for the rest of my life,” she said.
