POPULAR Breaking Barriers Islamic talk show host and businessman Inshan Ishmael has been battling cancer for some time.

In a Facebook post yesterday, Ishmael said his prognosis means he could be alive for 'about two weeks or two years'. He also thanked everyone who extended kind wishes to him.

'To say this status is late is an understatement, and for this I apologise. Just over one year ago I was hit with the 'Big C' -yes, cancer. Since then I have been managing well through the mercy of God, my wife, son, daughters, friends, neighbours and medical team. I have gone from 185 pounds to 145 pounds,' he reported.
