The media personality and reggae queen, Njambi Koikai, has condemned a writer who claimed that she is dead. She strongly assured her fans that she is to live and she is not dying any soon.
She said; “Kuna msee niliona alipost ati nimekacha(nimededi) mazee. Nataka tu kumshow mi niko poa sana siwezi nyuria hii idhaa.
Niko tu poa infact nafikiria vile ntaanza youtube channel niwashow 1000 ways to stay alive, have good skin and strong locs. Mbogi ingine ikikosa story za kutrend…wanaanza za ovyo.God ndio hupeana life. Mi niko going strong mbaya sana aiseeh! Thankfully now at 4.4m. Finishing strong mazee.”
Njambi has been hospitalized in the US where she is battling endometriosis. She has been in and out of the surgery room. All in all, she is not the type to give up easily as she is always sharing her recovery journey.
Njambi realized that she was suffering from endometriosis after enduring painful periods for 18 years, she suffered a lung collapse during her menstrual cycle three years ago.
“My very able gynecologist at home took me through it and made me understand what this meant,” she said. “He later advised me to seek specialized treatment.”
That specialized treatment would require her to journey 8,000 miles to America, to visit endometriosis specialists in Georgia. Soon enough, Koikai would learn her condition was even drier than she originally thought.
Her full diagnosis was Stage IV Endometriosis, catamenial pneumothorax with diaphragmatic endometriosis, sigmoid and rectovaginal endometriosis, and abnormal appendix.
Thankfully, Koikai is recovering from those extensive procedures and says life is already dramatically different. “I am recovering well. I’m breathing well without any complications.
This was a major surgery as I developed complications due to previous surgeries from back home that left damage in my right lung and that was fixed here.” However, the surgical procedures and subsequent therapy, while seemingly successful, have now left the deejay with a big hospital bill.
“I started a fundraiser back at home because I have no insurance in order to meet the costs. Unfortunately, after I was admitted, I developed complications,” she adds. “I’m still fundraising, and any assistance is highly appreciated.”
Koikai says she yearns for the day she can return to her home to her loved ones. “I’ll be home after therapy depending on how fast my body responds to that. Our Kenyan people also keep me so positive and keep encouraging me because they have continuously supported me in this fight.”
