“17.09.2023 – I had a CT Scan administered a few weeks back, which have shown that I have blood clots as well as Fibrosis in my lung. This explains the chest pains I had been feeling. My Medical Oncologist has recommended blood thinners and Oral Chemo. On the upside, I’m incredibly grateful that I am still treatable! ?? I’m off to bed … Good night … Good morning, beloved hearts! ? Love, the Oros Lady (I feel like my face just gets more rotund and puffy by the day!) ? Peace. Passion. Positivity. ❤️ #TerminallyFree#ZolekaMandelaVideos.”
