“I was called all kinds of names, but smiled, because the truth is when I lost my hair, I realised I loved my face & I’m beautiful, & so are you!” she added.
In August, the high-spirited actor revealed that she is “out of the danger zone”. She also shared details about her journey that became an inspiration for many.
“I will never forget facing & overcoming the fear of being bald, of feeling beautiful with no hair. Bald Nado taught me how to be my own best friend. She fought cancer, suicidal depression, debilitating arthritis, diabetes, during Covid lockdowns and she fought knowing she had to fight alone,” she further shared that it was a blessing in disguise. “What a blessing I have been to myself,” she wrote earlier.
We wish health and strength to all cancer survivors!
