- Ghanaian UK-based doctor and TikTok personality Dr Ntakra Ohene has opened up about his harrowing cancer diagnosis and the life-altering choices he’s had to make.
- In an emotional interview with ZionFelix, he revealed how a routine shower led to the discovery of lumps around his neck—later confirmed to be high-grade Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
- Faced with brutal treatment options, Dr Ohene’s story has sparked widespread sympathy and admiration online.
What began as a quiet moment in the shower turned into a life-altering discovery for Dr Ntakra Ohene, a Ghanaian doctor living in Reading, UK. In a candid interview with ZionFelix, Dr Ohene recounted the moment he noticed strange lumps around his neck—an observation that would soon unravel into a devastating diagnosis: high-grade Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Initially brushing it off as a minor health issue, Dr Ohene was soon confronted with the gravity of his condition. The hematologist presented him with two stark options: undergo chemotherapy and risk infertility, low sperm count, and permanent sexual dysfunction—or refuse treatment and wait for the inevitable.
The emotional toll was immediate. Dr Ohene admitted that after hearing the prognosis, he returned home, drank heavily, and went to bed. But the next morning, after speaking with his children, he made the decision to fight.
His first day of treatment was marked by a chilling moment: a fellow patient seated beside him died before receiving her therapy. That experience, he said, deepened his resolve to survive—not just for himself, but for the family he still hopes to nurture.
Dr Ohene’s story has since resonated across social media, where many have praised his vulnerability and courage. As a father of four and a public figure, his openness has sparked conversations about masculinity, mortality, and the hidden costs of survival.
His journey is far from over, but his voice is already making an impact—one brutally honest confession at a time.
