A professional chef and mother to a son, Chef Kea discovered a lump in her breast in September 2020. After seeking medical help and undergoing a biopsy, she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.

Her treatment included 9 months of chemotherapy, extended due to complications with her red blood cell levels, followed by three weeks of radiation. During this difficult time, Reach for Recovery (RFR) provided valuable emotional support and helped her come to terms with her diagnosis.

Today, Chef Kea visits her local clinic whenever she can to educate others about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. By sharing her story, she hopes to encourage women to pay attention to changes in their breasts and seek medical help without delay. ]]> Health & Fitness Wed, 21 Oct 2026 13:10:00 +0200 0 0 Chef Kea shares her journey 0 0 OFM full 3:59 OFM PinkTober https://iono.fm/e/1729246 https://iono.fm/e/1729246 Sy is 'n algemene chirurg in die Noord-Kaap met ’n spesiale belangstelling in borschirurgie.

Radiation, in particular, can cause peeling, blistering, or lasting changes in skin tone. As a result, even everyday things like scented creams, hot showers, or tight clothes may suddenly cause pain or irritation.

That’s why oncology-aware care is so important.”
