A year ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Jan 5 to mid-June I had chemotherapy.
July 10, I opted for a full mastectomy, and declined implants.
I’ve been in remission since July 18.
To start this awareness thread, here’s me on my last day of chemo!😎

Stereotypes like these, which affect cancer victims and literally kill them, are why I am coming out.
The only way to counter misinformation and disinformation is evidence.
#Mycancerstory: I always had really bad fibroids – inherited from Mum’s family, along with the slim figure.
In 2015, I had to have yet another operation. Doctor said fibroids were too big, so he literally reached behind his desk & gave me a drug to reduce them.
Name?
Esmya.
