My Journey

Denise Ejoh (PhD) Founder, Cormode Cancer Foundation

As a result of a diagnosis of Metastatic Breast Cancer to the brain, the challenges, lack of honest discussions and literature, I founded the Cormode Cancer Foundation (CCF), named after my mother’s initials. My mother and grandmother both died of cancer, and I have undergone three brain surgeries and had gamma knife surgery (using radiology) to remove seven additional tumors and different treatment regimens to shrink four to five tumors using chemotherapy over the last five years.

Using my experience and interactions with other advocates globally, with a focus on Nigeria, my cancer journey is the lived experience we all go through without any warning, with a lack of understanding or knowledge of what to expect. precise. Our first reactions are that we become numb, blank out, we no longer listen or hear the people around us, we hear voices in our heads, there’s confusion, our minds start racing at 200mph…
