Photos: Woman celebrates being cancer free...
Zoleka Mandela has beaten breast cancer and she is celebrating. She was
diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago and had a double mastectomy.
Shared her inspiring story on Instagram today.
"Can you believe that this year marks 4yrs since I was diagnosed with
breast cancer? I had both my breasts removed (bilateral mastectomy) with
immediate reconstruction. I had just had my breast tissue expanders
replaced with breast implants in this picture and the, "Louis Vuitton,"
bag I'm carrying as the nurses call it -
...is where the drainage happens, the tubes were stitched into my
incisions. Don't get me started on how painful it was when they had to
removed them, I cried bucket loads but that's okay because no plant
grows without water! �� to be honest, I've always wanted bigger breasts
but not this way! I didn't even get the size I wanted, it was tough
trying to explain my, "Boob to Booty Ratio," to my plastic surgeon - the
breasts must match my BIG booty so I resemble the letter, "S," when I
stand at a angle �� Anyway, I still haven't gotten my nipples as yet
even 4yrs later ... I don't miss them but maybe I should buy fake ones
I'll wear for a week to see if it really makes a difference in my life?
�� I'm cancer free and I'm celebrating that by trying to play a more
positive role in the lives of those living with cancer, that matters
more to me than nipples and bigger breasts! #BreastCancerSurvivor
