Скачать или смотреть Why Shanice Chose Double Mastectomy for one side breast cancer

When Grammy-nominated singer Shanice Wilson learned she had breast cancer, she was terrified — like so many women are in that moment. Hearing the word “cancer” can feel life-stopping. And for any woman, the idea of losing one breast is already a deeply emotional and overwhelming decision — let alone choosing a double mastectomy for peace of mind and future safety.
Shanice found strength in her mother’s words:
“If this is going to save your life… get rid of the breast.”
She made one of the hardest decisions a woman can face — but it gave her control, clarity, and freedom from fear. Because she acted, her cancer was caught at Stage 1, and today she is cancer-free and thriving.

Her reconstruction was performed by Dr. Wai-Yee Li, MD PhD FACS, a board-certified female plastic surgeon who specializes exclusively in breast reconstruction and complex revision breast surgery. Dr Li spent a decade as Associate Professor of Plastic Surgery at City of Hope National Medical Center, Duarte, California, one of the nation’s leading cancer centers, before founding her own all-female solo practice: LA Breast and Body in Los Angeles.

Shanice’s story is a reminder that the hardest decisions can also be the most life-saving — and that early detection gives women options.
