The author has now revealed that she has started cancer treatment and that she is battling to come to terms with the diagnosis.
“I wanted to thank you all profusely for all your prayers and well wishes, for your generosity and kind deeds.
“I’m home and recovering from the side effects of my first session to treat cancer in my lungs, liver, ribs, spinal cord, and hips. I’m battling to come to terms with my diagnosis. It’s both daunting and terrifying. Prayer for acceptance and peace that passes all understanding. Peace. Passion. Positivity,” she wrote.
Before this post she stated that she is hanging by a thread after the official CT scan showed that she has chance both in her liver and lungs. More feedback will be given to her to determine if she has bone cancer.
"Yesterday (29.08.2022) marked my official diagnosis, the CT scan has revealed cancer both in my liver and lungs. I am yet to receive feedback regarding my Bone scan, to establish whether I have cancer beyond my ribs. I am hanging on by a thread.
She also thanked all who have been praying for her recovery. "Thank you all for your outpouring of love, prayer and support. Peace. Passion. Positivity," she wrote.
"I've had a sore back for more than a month now, and recently consulted with my GP when I could no longer tolerate the excruciating pain in my left rib. 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," Zoleka wrote.
She continued "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 am awaiting my results."
She said she is very scared more especially at the fact that she has to tell her children about this.
"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," she wrote.
