Prayers go out to R&B singer Shanice Wilson, who recently underwent a double mastectomy, Media take Out has confirmed.
Here’s what we know. Earlier this year, Shanice got bad news during a routine breast exam. Doctors found a one centimeter tumor in my breast. After tests were done, and multiple consultations, Shanice decided to take pretty radical action to preserve her health.
She decided to have a double mastectomy.
Media take Out has learned that Shanice’s family has a history of cancer with adverse consequences. So while her decision to have a double mastectomy may seem radical to some …. it was the only way that Shanice can be sure that she’d be free of the horrible disease.
Shanice opened up about her journey back – and gave special thanks to people who helped her get back to where she is currently.
Sha made sure to give a special shout out to her husband Flex, who, helped nurse her back to health. Shaniece wrote, “Thank you [Flex] for helping me get through the hardest time of my life.. You helped me every day with my drains and cooked all my meals.. I love you.. I am healed and restored in Jesus name.”
Here’s Shanice’s full statement:
Shanice is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress and dancer. She had the Billboard hit singles “I Love Your Smile” and “Silent Prayer” in 1991 and “Saving Forever for You” in 1993.
