Cancer is no respecter of persons & these days it seems like there is a cancer for every part of the body. One of the most deadliest forms of cancer is cervical, which affects only women.

This morning Peter Okoye‘s wife Lola Omotayo took to Instagram to express her grief over the loss of her nanny, Esther Ngobor who had lost her 5 year battle to cervical cancer.

According to a heartbroken Lola, Ester had worked with the Okoye’s for 7 years and started taking care of Cameron when he was just 3 months old. She described Ester as not just a nanny but a sister and a friend.

Today we lost a very precious soul. Esther Ngobor. Esther started working with us almost 7years ago. She was a wonderful nanny to our son from when he was 3 months old. She was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer 5 years ago and she fought tirelessly to stay alive. When she was diagnosed, she was told she had a few months to live but she fought hard.Words cannot describe how incredible she was as an employee, sister and friend. My children loved her, we all loved her. Her smile and laughter would light up a room in a second. She was clever,witty and dedicated. She was most importantly God fearing and honest. Her biggest fear was dying. Oh Esther, I am so sorry. We tried everything within our power to give her the quality of life she deserved. We tried every possible treatment available but God knows best and we cannot question Him. I want to thank all my friends and family who touched her life no matter how small. Your prayers, love and donations will not be forgotten. God bless you. Esther was in so much pain but she never gave up. This is a very sad day for us. We will miss you so much Esther. May your gentle Soul Rest in perfect Peace. Ladies please get your pap smear test done once a year. If you have never gotten one done, please get one done now. Cancer knows no gender, race, social class or nothing.@peterpsquare #cancersucks#esther#RIP#tears#stupidcancer #

Cervical cancer is the second biggest cancer that affects women after breast cancer.

Ladies if you are sexually active you NEED to get a smear/pap test done. Women between the ages of 21 – 29 should typically get tested every 2 years. If you are 30 & older and have had three normal Pap Tests in a row, you can talk to your doctor and space out the tests to one every three years.
