The footage, originally filmed in November 2025 on TV3 Ghana's talk show The Ladies Circle, shows Bubune seated among a panel of women in what becomes an increasingly emotional conversation about survival, family, and faith.
The former 2013 Ghana's Most Beautiful runner-up was speaking as a guest on the show, sharing her personal health journey for what appears to have been one of the few times she did so publicly.
Bubune on losing her son and chemotherapy
In the interview, Bubune recounted how her family was blindsided by the diagnosis.
"We were just ready to receive our son. We're preparing for it. And we had to lose him and then move on into a phase we were never prepared for or we never thought it could come close to us," she said.
She underwent eight sessions of chemotherapy in Ghana, but the blow that hit hardest came when she believed treatment was nearly over. Her doctors informed her that due to the aggressive nature of her condition, she would need a full bone marrow transplant abroad, either in South Africa or India, to prevent a relapse.
Faced with the financial weight of international medical travel after already spending heavily on local treatment, Bubune admitted she questioned whether to continue fighting.
"Why am I treating myself to survive and then grow at a point and God will call me again? So, why don't I give up now?" she recalled thinking.
Despite those moments of despair, she held on. Her husband, who she said hid his tears from her to appear strong, her sister who is a nurse and stayed by her side throughout, and her two young children who recited Bible verses to her all played a central role in keeping her going. To protect her elderly mother, the family kept the diagnosis from her entirely until Bubune travelled to India for the transplant.
Bubune opens up on faith amid adversity
Bubune did not shy away from acknowledging how deeply her faith was tested.
"My faith was tested, shaken, but I held on tight to God. That was what pulled me through," she said during the interview.
The resurfacing of her words has struck a nerve with many Ghanaians, who are only now learning the full weight of what she quietly endured.
