Things are not looking good for me at all and it’s important for me to continue to be honest about my journey as I vowed I would for the betterment of the cancer community.

As I rejoin you in prayer, for them all, I will pray for my comfort, peace acceptance. Thanking you all for your prayer, well wishes, hope, support and encouragem­ent. Peace. Passion. Positivity. #Terminally­Free #ZolekaMand­ela," she wrote.
