Scores of people have been truly inspired by Mfundo Vundla story how he almost met his demise but came back. Vundla explains how he survived death not once but three times and the challenges he endured amidst being hospitalized.
As reported by the City Press, the 76 year old was caught between a hard place and rock after experiencing a series of excruciating chest pains. Upon visiting his doctor, he was told there was nothing to worry about. However, last year February he was then diagnosed with cancer of oesophagus and Vundla is truly grateful to be alive today.
"I knocked on death’s door three times. Believe me, it was not a pretty sight. I’m 76 years old and people in my age group or older are felled by heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and buckets of other chronic ailments. February last year I’m diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus. This after I complained to my cardiologist about chest pains – a series of them – especially when I was eating" reports City Press
In a humorous letter, that sounded like it was sent from one friend to another. Vundla opens up with 'Dear Chommie, a slang for 'Dear Friend'. Overcome with excitement, joy and much gratitude, Vundla shares how he stood his ground with his doctor, who initially dismissed his chest pains as anything alarming and serious.
Following being referred to a gastroenterologist, the Generations: The Legacy creator was subsequently diagnosed with cancer of oesophagus. While majority of Vundla's age group are battling illnesses such as diabetes, heart attacks and strokes, he has been lucky enough not to have any of those. However, cancer alone is a deadly illness but curable if treated at the earliest convenience.
"My heart doctor dismissed my complaints, insisting I was chasing shadows. Making things up. I put my foot down. Demanded he refer me to a gastroenterologist. Chommie, that’s a fancy word for a doctor who specialises in pushing a small camera down the oesophagus and into the stomach. As the camera moves south it takes images of growths on tissue walls." reports City Press
