Alexx Ekubo: doctor lists cancer warning signs
For starters, he stressed that the disease develops quietly and may only become harder to treat when discovered late.
He gave an example of a young man he knew during his school days who was later discovered to have stage 3 cancer after already experiencing serious symptoms.
Aproko Doctor also noted how people mocked the young man after chemotherapy caused his hair to fall out.
The doctor then highlighted four major cancer warning signs that people should be on the lookout for:
- Persistent tiredness
- Unexplained weight loss
- Changes in physical appearance linked to illness
- Pain that refuses to go away.

Reactions to the doctor’s advice on cancer
Social media users who took to the comments section of the video have expressed sorrow over the passing of Alexx Ekubo.
@Verena_vam stated:
“Thank you. Others have taken the opportunity to trend on this. You used it to educate while still giving him honour. Personally, I was diagnosed with a liver issue in 2012 accidentally. Sometimes it creeps in quietly. The mental torture I went through…”
@darlynofficial stated:
“Often times people don’t go for regular checks for minor issues, not because of lack of money. Often it’s the fear of what you will find. ‘What you don’t know won’t kill you.’ How many times have we believed that nonsense? I am guilty of it. Deaths like these awaken us to reality.”
@BernieWanzie added:
“Don’t ignore any signs and self-medicate. We need to keep our health a priority.”
@NathanP60169965 stated:
“I’m sick, live alone and don’t have a family member around me. I’m losing weight and don’t have funds to go for a proper check-up.”
@Victoriaefeh opined:
“It is so sad. I hope the cure for this is discovered soon. The beautiful people it has taken is uncountable. May his soul rest in peace.”
