Beverly Afaglo dies at 42 after battle with triple-negative breast cancer

Ghanaian actress Beverly Afaglo has passed away at the age of 42 following a struggle with triple-negative breast cancer. Her family confirmed that she died in May 2026, approximately six weeks after receiving a terminal prognosis from medical professionals. The actress, known for her roles in numerous Ghanaian films, was given just two months to live by doctors after the disease progressed despite intensive treatment. According to her sister, Mama Fiawotoe I, Beverly first discovered a lump and immediately sought medical intervention. Her treatment regimen included surgery and radiation therapy as part of an effort to contain the cancer. However, the condition worsened when doctors discovered that the cancer had metastasized, spreading to other parts of her body. In a final attempt to find a cure, the family explored treatment options in the United States, but medical experts there provided little hope for recovery. Throughout her illness, Beverly remained remarkably hopeful. Her sister recounted that the actress resisted discussions regarding her potential death, maintaining a positive spirit even as her health declined. Her passing marks a significant loss to the Ghanaian film industry, where she was a celebrated figure. The details of her final months highlight the aggressive nature of triple-negative breast cancer and the challenges faced by those battling the disease despite access to advanced medical care.
