A Breast cancer survivor has taken to Instagram to share bare-chested photos of herself in celebration of her last cancer treatment.
Jessica Geneva Florence, 24, discovered she had cancer at the age of 22. Since then she’s been battling the ailment which afflicts about 1 in 8 women.
The young lady shared a very shocking photo of what her breast looked like immediately after radiation and went on to appreciate the people who stood by her during her trying time.
Jessica also took a walk down memory lane, revealing what the journey had been like so far and the many challenges she encountered.
In her post, she wrote: “FIRST OF ALL … My name is Jessica Geneva Florence. I am now 24 years old, and I survived, better yet SLAYED breast cancer! ? Death to this silent monster!!! I am finally putting you to rest.
“Today I had my last treatment and it feels so amazing to reach the finish line !! When I was diagnosed at the age of 22, I never thought I would ever feel like the same woman I was before I lost the only thing I knew, made me a woman. To the freedom and liberation, I feel is like no other. You constantly battle that feeling of being pretty and hideous as if you’re the monster who killed the only you knew.
“Big shouts to @ihartericka because it is most definitely a lonely personal battle..she inspires me to not be afraid to get out there and love again, and most importantly to love who I am, what I’ve endured, and who I will become.
“October has come to an end yet we feel this is the only time to bring awareness and support breast cancer. We will honor ALL fighters and ALL survivors year round! We will not be celebrated for just one month!”
