Zoleka Mandela, the granddaughter of struggle stalwarts Winnie and Nelson Mandela, revealed that she has been diagnosed with bone metastasis.
Zoleka was first treated for breast cancer in 2011 and it returned in 2016. She’s been very open about her struggles with chemotherapy.
“I have bone metastasis,” she wrote in a caption of a photo of herself in an x-ray robe. “I’ve just had my CT scan and awaiting my results; I don’t even have the words to articulate my thoughts and feelings, the words to describe how scared I am right now.”
“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.”
She goes on to say “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.”
