When she finished treatment last year, she told People: “There’s a lot of waiting in this and it’s sort of something I didn’t realise and nobody really talks about.
You don’t know what’s happening, so you have to focus on the grey area, which is the hardest. I felt like I was having a productive time while I was receiving treatment.
Cribriform carcinoma is a rare, invasive breast cancer that typically progresses slowly and is characterized by its distinctive “sieve-like” cell pattern under the microscope.
Nicole initially believed that her menopause symptoms were real. She experienced “terrible pain” in her left breast after gaining 25 pounds in three months. She found the lump while doing self-examination.
Upon visiting the doctors, mammograms and biopsies confirmed that she had cancer. Nicole said: “This journey’s been rough for me. This hasn’t been a breezy sail through life. I always read inspirational quotes and corny stuff, but it gets me through it.”
Nicola took to her Instagram account on August 8 to share a life update with followers, revealing that she had been through scans and had anxiety throughout the process.
She said: “That anxiety leading up to it is debilitating, like it’s horrible.I went in today to get my results, and I was for sure going to vomit all over the waiting room. I was shaking. I kept thinking I was going to faint.
“And then I get the results, and thank God, they’re clear! So then I’m sobbing. I’m crying and weeping with gratitude and happiness and all the emotions, it’s so up and down. It’s so much on us… It’s wild to me how quickly I can get into a dark place before I get the results.”
She wrote, “I will endeavor to accept my life, it is taking me where I need to go – The promise of a new day,” in the caption.
