Carl Ikeme Makes First Public Appearance, Opens Cancer Centre As Leukemia Goes Into Remission

Super Eagles no.1 goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme, has made his first public appearance since he was diagnosed with Leukemia. The 32 year old was seen at the opening of a new chemotherapy unit at Solihull Hospital in Solihull, England. In June the goalie who was receiving treatment at Sister Hospital, Heartlands, before moving to a clinic in Manchester, revealed via his instagram page that he is finally in Leukemia remission:

“After a tough year and intense chemotherapy throughout I would like to let everyone know I am in complete REMISSION . I still have hurdles to get over to be cured but I can hopefully now move forward with some normality. I would like to thank my family/friends to start with who have gone above and beyond for me ❤ The support I have received from Wolves/Nigeria, the football world and from people from all over the world has been hard to put into words. I can’t thank everyone at the Christie and heartlands hospital enough for there care!!!What next who knows… I’m just taking it a day at a time #Grateful ?? #Remission” — Ikeme

Ikeme was joined by Black Sabbath rock legend, Tony Iomm, at the opening of the cancer care unit, according to reports by Express & Star.
