Late last week, social media was awash with news that veteran Kenyan singer, Christian Longomba, who moved to USA for greener pastures a few years back had been admitted in hospital in critical condition.

It was alleged that Christian, brother to Lovy Longomba had been diagnosed with a head tumor which needed urgent treatment.

According to his brother Lovy, Christian suffered a seizure in May and tests confirmed “a very serious and life threatening diagnosis – Falx and parasagittal meningiomas: It grows from the dural fold, called the falx, which runs between the left and right sides of the brain.”
Lovy, who has set up a GoFundMe (Brain Surgery for Christian) pledge page wrote:

“Because of the danger of injuring the sinuses, removing a tumor in the falx or parasagittal region is extremely difficult. A grim prognosis added to Christian’s bewildered and devastated outlook. After receiving his diagnosis, Christian launched into perhaps his most challenging endeavor — starting his journey in the treatment of his brain tumour. It took two long weeks for Christian to start the surgery process.”
Through his family, is calling upon well wishers to help him cater for medical expenses of about $20,000 (KSh 2 million).
And now, the lad has undergone his second surgery which will see him require 6 weeks of radiation to completely remove the tumor.
This comes barely a few days after one of his closest friends started an online campaign to help raise funds to cater for his medical bill.
