Nina Lopes (replay) on living with terminal cancer and falling in love with herself and life again
Description
The one where we have to trust we know our bodies best
Proudly supporting Coppafeel and Black Women Rising and their campaign ‘The Checklist’ which focuses on raising awareness around Black women and breast cancer - an underserved demographic within medicine when it comes to cancer.
Emma and Nicole speak to Nina Lopes, a menswear designer, dancer, and mother behind the account @frodayss. Just before she turned 37, she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer - an aggressive type of cancer which spreads quickly. She is currently at stage four. We spoke to Nina about her mixed heritage, being ignored by medical professionals, her diagnosis, parenting, and living her life to the fullest as she documents daily life with terminal cancer.
