Author Zoleka Mandela has taken to her Instagram account to express her gratitude to the masses for the love and support since she revealed that she was diagnosed with bone metastasis.
She shared a heartwarming message with her fans. "I would like to express my gratitude for the support and love I have been showered with since announcing the recent development in my health. I am currently finding the best way to manage my illness and business. I would like to like to thank each person behind all the brands and campaigns that have shown interest in working together.
In my attempt to filter out, adjust myself and realign my priorities as an independent provider to clients and my children, I have therefore decided to formalize my brand's infrastructure in hopes of further legitimizing its narrative as well as securing all parties involved.
The comments section was filled with love from her fans.
Zoleka's fighting spirit continues to win the hearts of many people. Sis has literally had her fair share of pain and struggles but she is not one to give up easily.
She recently revealed that she had started cancer treatment and said that she was 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 the 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 had stated that she was hanging by a thread after the official CT scan showed that she has cancer both in her liver and lungs.
"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.
The diagnosis came after she decided to consult her GP, who diagnosed her with Bone metastasis - a condition in which cancer cells spread from their original site to the bone.
"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," wrote Zoleka.
