Sharing an update on how he has been fairing so far, Drogba said he finds it difficult to breathe and speak in his condition.

“I am sorry I have not actually updated you concerning what is wrong with me, but the whole problem. As for the hospital I go to, it got to a point where the Doctors were not comfortable with me taking pictures, so that’s the reason I don’t update,” he said.

“To be honest to you, the thing is very complicated, and I can’t explain how I feel. At times, my speech becomes a problem; it’s off. Today, I can say it better; that’s the reason I am trying to record fast.”

“As for the pain in my back, it’s still there; I take drugs to reduce the pain. I also do slight exercises to ease the pain because when I do intensive exercise, it triggers something. It affects my neck to be shaking or my hand,” Drogba added.

The Ghanaian actor also demonstrated how he walks after he was diagnosed with the disease.
