Woman celebrates being cancer free........

Zoleka Mandela has beaten breast cancer and she is celebrating.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago and had a
double mastectomy. Shared her inspiring story on Instagram
today.
"Can you believe that this year marks 4yrs since I was
diagnosed with breast cancer? I had both my breasts
removed (bilateral mastectomy) with immediate
reconstruction. I had just had my breast tissue expanders
replaced with breast implants in this picture and the,
"Louis Vuitton," bag I'm carrying as the nurses call it -
...is where the drainage happens, the tubes were stitched
into my incisions. Don't get me started on how painful it
was when they had to removed them, I cried bucket loads
but that's okay because no plant grows without water!
�� to be honest, I've always wanted bigger breasts but
not this way! I didn't even get the size I wanted, it was
tough trying to explain my, "Boob to Booty Ratio," to my
plastic surgeon - the breasts must match my BIG booty so
I resemble the letter, "S," when I stand at a angle ��
Anyway, I still haven't gotten my nipples as yet even 4yrs
later ... I don't miss them but maybe I should buy fake ones
I'll wear for a week to see if it really makes a difference in
my life? �� I'm cancer free and I'm celebrating that by
trying to play a more positive role in the lives of those
living with cancer, that matters more to me than nipples
and bigger breasts! #BreastCancerSurvivor
