Celebs Send Zoleka Mandela Love Following Cancer Return Revelation. Two time breast cancer survivor, breast cancer activist, author and mother of six, Zoleka Mandela revealed earlier this week that she has yet again been diagonised with cancer as it has returned.
The 42 year old shared a heartbreaking post on how she found out and how scared she feels for herself and her kids. Taking to Instagram, the mother of six shared that she had consulted her GP after experiencing an excruciating pain in her left rib and sore back.
“I went for an x-ray of my chest and rib a few days ago – I have a pathological fracture and swelling caused by cancer. My Medical Oncologist has scheduled me for a CT scan and bone scan, to determine whether I have cancer in the remaining parts of my body. From what she’s told me, cancer in the bones cannot be eradicated nor can it be cured. I have Bone Metastasis. I’ve just had my CT scan and awaiting my results, I don’t even have the words to articulate my thoughts and feelings, the words to describe how scared I am right now. What do I tell my children? How do I tell them that this time around, I may not get to live my life as a survivor? How do I tell them everything will be okay when it’s not? I’m dying … I don’t want to die,” Zoleka detailed.
Whilst she turned off comments on the post, it didn’t stop love from pouring from all across social media. From local celebs to people who have followed her journey over the years, they all shared how heartbroken they feel for her and sent her some love. See what celebs had to say on social media below.
