After a journalist was diagnosed with cancer while live on social media \u2013 she\u2019d agreed to have her doctor\u2019s appointment streamed online \u2013 there is some good news: she\u2019s now confirmed to be cancer-free.<\/span>Last October, Ali Meyer\u2019s first-ever mammogram was broadcast live to Facebook viewers.<\/span>While the 41-year-old expected the appointment to be routine, it ended up becoming more than that as the specialist revealed to her the shocking news that she had breast cancer.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Only minutes after receiving the devastating diagnosis, a tearful Ali addressed the camera saying, \u201cAlright, so I was hoping for a routine little mammogram, and that\u2019s not how this went. I was just sure we\u2019d have nothing today, but here we are. But I\u2019m going to have an MRI next week to confirm exactly what we\u2019re dealing with and get a plan of action in place.\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: KFOR<\/a><\/span>She was diagnosed with non-invasive ductile breast cancer in her right breast. While it turned out to be one of the most survivable forms of breast cancer, it still rattled Ali to her \u201ccore.\u201d<\/span>As she said, \u201cIt\u2019s been hard and shocking. It does kind of rock you to your core. This is not the news I was hoping to tell you about to raise breast cancer awareness, but it\u2019s what I got.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>The reporter also added, \u201cIt felt like forced mutilation, like cancer was stealing away part of my body.\u201d<\/span>It took some time, but eventually, the reporter made peace with her diagnosis. She even let cameras follow her recovery journey \u2013 even going as far as filming her reconstructive surgery with Dr. Oscar Masters.<\/span>Dr. Masters revealed that medical advances in surgical techniques are now giving women a much greater chance of retaining not only their breast skin but their nipples as well, thus letting the reconstruction have a much more natural appearance.<\/span>Hi.. I\u2019m Ali & I have two nipples.✌🏻☺️ I was diagnosed with #BreastCancer<\/a> one year ago, and every single day I feel lucky I was able to keep my breast skin & nipple after mastectomy.

\n<\/span>Thankfully, Ali has made a recovery and is cancer-free and doctors have told her that she is \u201cmost likely to be completely cured.\u201d<\/span>Ali is now an advocate encouraging other women to go see their doctors and get all the necessary tests needed in order to detect the disease early.<\/span>As Ali stated, \u201cMy outcome was better because my mammogram found the cancer before I even knew it was there.\u201d<\/span>Proper BCS greatergood_ctg_abovevideo<\/span><\/span>Source<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
