Ghanaian actress, Mavis Yeboah popularly known as Maame Gyanwaa from the renowned show \u201cCow and Chicken,\u201d has opened up about her four-year battle with a severe eye condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I lose my sight completely, I will search for poisons used for pests and drink them. I cannot live without my eyes,\u201d she confessed.<\/p>\n

In an emotional interview with blogger ZionFelix, Maame Gyanwaa recounted her journey with the ailment, which began with misdiagnoses ranging from malaria to glaucoma.<\/p>\n

Eventually, doctors identified a blood clot behind her eye, a condition they deemed incurable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have already spent over 11,000 cedis on treatment, but it\u2019s not enough. I have lost all sight in my left eye, and my vision in the right eye is blurry. I experience frequent blackouts in that eye,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n

To seek more affordable treatment, Maame Gyanwaa travels monthly from Accra to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, incurring transportation costs of up to GH\u20b5400 each trip.<\/p>\n

Despite offers for treatment abroad, surgery has been ruled out by doctors after reviewing her medical scans.<\/p>\n

Tragically, Maame Gyanwaa also lost her son to cancer in 2021, a devastating ordeal that further drained her financial resources, despite support received from the President at the time.<\/p>\n

Currently sustaining herself through bead-making, which requires her vision, Maame Gyanwaa expressed despair over her dwindling finances and the lack of acting opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t been called for any acting gigs. I\u2019ve been surviving on my own. I appeal to people to help me in any way they can. I am quickly losing hope,\u201d she said tearfully.<\/p>\n

Concerned about the rising costs of medical care amid economic challenges, Maame Gyanwaa pleaded for assistance from her fans and colleagues.<\/p>\n

She disclosed the depth of her anguish, revealing thoughts of suicide should she lose her right eye.<\/p>\n
