If you’re fighting cancer in Nigeria and no one’s checking your mind… you’re already losing

—

**Dance all you want… but if your mind breaks while your body fights, you’re still dead. 💀**

That’s not harsh.

That’s **truth**.

The fact that this study got accepted at **ASCO 2025** — the biggest cancer conference on Earth — proves it:

> **“Estimating the access to psychotherapy and psychological support for cancer patients in Nigeria: A national study”** is live.

And here’s what it says:

### 🚨 *80.9% OF CANCER PATIENTS IN NIGERIA DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO GET MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT.*

Even though **81.3%** of them are psychologically affected by their diagnosis…

Even though **64.8%** say they need mental support during treatment…

Only **44.6%** actually receive any form of psychotherapy.

And get this:

### 💸 ONLY 24.8% ARE WILLING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP.

Why?

Because there’s no system.

No structure.

No mental health warriors fighting alongside oncologists.

Just broken souls trying to survive cancer with a mind full of fear, anxiety, and silence.

## 🧠 CANCER DOESN’T JUST KILL THE BODY — IT DESTROYS THE MIND

You don’t have to be a doctor to know this.

But you *do* have to care.

And if you’re treating cancer in Nigeria without treating the mind… you’re practicing low-IQ medicine.

This research from **Project PINK BLUE**, done across 14 hospitals with over **1,389 patients**, shows that:

– Most patients are diagnosed in a humane way ✅
– Over half get counseling right after diagnosis ✅
– But only **17.2%** get help *from a clinical psychologist* on day one ❌
– And most hospitals have **zero psycho-oncology services** ❌

That’s like sending soldiers into battle with no armor.

That’s not bravery.

That’s negligence.

## 🛠️ THE SOLUTION? BUILD PSYCHO-ONCOLOGY CLINICS. HIRE REAL PSYCHOLOGISTS.

This isn’t rocket science.

It’s basic human respect.

We spend billions building cancer centers, buying machines, importing drugs — but forget that people aren’t robots.

You can’t radiate a tumor and ignore trauma.

You can’t inject chemo and expect a soul to stay strong without support.

So here’s the call:

**Build psycho-oncology clinics in every major cancer hospital. Hire real clinical psychologists. Train them. Pay them. Empower them.**

Let’s start treating people — not just diseases.

Let’s start saving minds so bodies can heal.

## 📢 FINAL WARNING: IF YOU IGNORE THIS, YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM

If you’re a doctor, a nurse, a policymaker, or a family member of someone with cancer — and you’re not pushing for mental health integration…

You’re part of the death spiral.

This ASCO-accepted study is a wake-up call.
