Shanice shared her story as a cautionary tale. The famous R&B singer talked on “Good Morning America” about the behind-the-scenes of her fight for health. After receiving a false diagnosis eight years ago, she avoided preventive care like the plague. All because of fear. After all, she recently went for tests and found out she had breast cancer. For this reason, she encourages everyone not to make her mistake and visit their doctors' offices regularly. She reminded women that regular mammograms are crucial and can save lives.
Shanice told the cameras about having a double mastectomy
The artist has already had a double mastectomy, which took place in May. And she is glad she decided on it, because the initial diagnosis indicated pre-invasive ductal cancer. Meanwhile, mastectomy surgery revealed that it was a more advanced form of the disease – a tumor the size of one centimeter in the first stage. – When I had surgery and was previously told I had cancer, I literally stopped smiling – says the performer of the hit “I Love Your Smile” in an interview. But with the worst moments now behind her, she is once again looking to the future with optimism. – This is not a death sentence. If you get there early (to the hospital – editor's note), you will survive, she concluded with her characteristic smile. – I wanted to appear in the program to tell women that they need to smile. I regained my smile, she revealed.
With her story, Paulina Młynarska reminded women to get tested
A few years ago, Paulina Młynarska decided to have a double mastectomy. All after she was diagnosed with it changesthat cause the risk of developing breast cancer. And since the only way to stop the process was a mastectomy, the procedure allowed the journalist to protect herself from serious complications. “When I decided to share information about my mastectomy, I thought that it was worth taking this opportunity to remind women of the need to undergo examinations. Because every year, a medium-sized 'city of women' wakes up with a diagnosis of breast cancer. 20,000 women , of which as many as six thousand will disappear without a trace, leaving behind them kidshusbands, partners, parents, friends. When you have a famous name and great reach, you can do at least enough to remind about prevention,” she explained in an online entry.
