“Dear Ellen, my name is Jahmby Koikai from Nairobi Kenya, a stage four thoracic endometriosis survivor. Endometriosis is a disorder in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus. In my case the endometriosis spread all the way to my lungs, diaphragm, chest, ribs, appendix and close to my heart,” she stated in the letter.

It’s not the first time the radio presenter has tried to appear on a popular American show to spread awareness.

In February, she also asked fans to do the same thing to appear on a show hosted by American TV personality and actor Steve Harvey.
