43 year old Singer and politician Banky Wellington, aka Banky W, has undergone a successful fourth cancer surgery. The singer had a third surgery for skin cancer in October 2017 and shared that he has been fighting the disease for more than ten years. A month later, he informed Premium Times that he hadn’t expected to experience a relapse of a rare skin cancer tumor for a third time, especially after having already undergone two surgeries. He shared on his Instagram: “For those who’ve been wondering why I’ve been away (for) so long, I had my third surgery on a rare strain of skin cancer tumors in my shoulder last month. The first two times were over 10 years ago, then it recently resurfaced. But this isn’t a sad story as much as it is a reminder and a testimony.
“A reminder that you should never take life for granted. You only get one shot. Some people went to sleep and never woke up. Many others have lost the battle to cancer and other illnesses. Many are still fighting. You never know when your time will be up. So, don’t waste another minute.
“It’s also a testimony about the goodness of God. I think I had to go through this again to remember how merciful God is to me. Lord knows I don’t deserve it, but He saves me time and again, anyway. I keep saying I need to write a book. I do”, he said.
Fast forward to this year, He shared a video recently on his Instagram page showing us all that he went through once again, his gratitude to God for the successful surgery, appreciating his wife, family, doctors, friends, fans included and how he kept pushing with this caption:
Final Score –
Christ 4 – Cancer Tumors 0
Sometimes, your faith in God will not prevent the storms from coming… but it will carry you through them. Faith won’t always stop you from hurting, but it will help you heal, and it will help you deal.
God never said the weapons wouldn’t form, He promised that they wouldn’t prosper. He never said the enemy wouldn’t come… He promised that when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God would raise a standard against him.
Posting this testimony to encourage anyone out there who is going through a challenge. It might seem bigger than you, but greater is He that is in you than anything you will face in this world.
Grateful for my wife, family, friends, and Pastors for their love, prayers, and support. Thanking God for my health and trusting that this latest victory is final in Jesus’ name.
Appreciating the gifted hands and minds of my doctors, Dr. Onyewu of the Center for Advanced Specialty Surgery, and Dr. Adenuga of Euracare and the teams that support them.
We have the victory yet again. Now and forever, in Jesus’ name.
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” – Romans 8:28.
