The Real Housewives of Nairobi reality star and rally driver Lisa Christoffersen battled stage 4 cancer.
The rally driver told Buzz Central that one day in 2006 she woke up in a blood bath in her bed.
"On my way to the bathroom, I fainted and that was my first time ever," she said.
She explained that the thought of battling cancer had never crossed her mind.
"The pain was too much and I could not walk 50 metres without coughing blood and I thought that my uterus was going to fall off."
It was then that the doctor discovered that she had stage 4 cancer.
"They told me that I just had two days to live because the tumour had gone too far," she said.
"I had two massive tumours in my uterus one being 12 cm and the other one 14cm and they were pushing each other. My lungs also had tumours and that's why I struggled to breathe and coughed blood."
She explained that her chemotherapy journey started soon because she was too weak and during the procedure, her lungs collapsed and at some point, she was "declared dead".
"They managed to revive me, I was on life support for five weeks," she said
The only side effect she suffered was extreme hair loss due to the chemo procedure.
"I only lost my hair and it grew back dark, thick and curly."
She concluded by advising people who have been diagnosed with cancer to stay positive and just embrace it.
