Roxanne Shante Is Struggling With Breast Cancer

According to Black Voices, it's being reported that Roxanne Shante is struggling with breast cancer. I don't know how true this is because I don't like putting out things when it comes to being sick. Breast cancer is not a game and I have lost many family members to cancer so if this is true, my heartfelt prayers are with Roxanne. However, if these rumors are false, the person who put them out there is going to hell! That's not something you put on someone! I don't care who it is! Here's part of the interview below:

"In March, I noticed a lump in my left breast, rather small at the time and didn't really know what I was feeling. So instead of going straight to the doctor's office, I started asking friends their opinion and trying to go by their experiences. It was such a stupid move. Well, I figured I was just getting older. A hysterectomy in my early thirties led me to believe that I would be fine. Another stupid move.

I let months go by - five months to be exact. The weight loss of over 40 pounds made me feel like, "Damn, this diet is finally working." But then I remembered I wasn't on a diet. So on a bright, sunny day in August 2009, I walked into Doshi center for a mammogram. I put on the gown and stepped up to the machine. As soon as the technician took my breast in her hand, she asked me how long had I had the lump. It's huge, she said. I made a joke, she giggled, but I was scared and angry that I had waited so long.

I was in denial. I event went so far as to ignore the letters sent by the lab that read: "Urgent!!! Please contact us."
I had gotten a call from the doctor, "I just received your images at my office and they have been trying to reach you for weeks. As soon as you get back to New York, you come to my office. This is your life."

I hung up, turned the phone off, walked out on the set and tried to pretend that the call never happen. But they did. And it showed on my face."

Again, I want to stress that I don't know how true this is. I mean we all know what happened with the last Roxanne Shante rumor right? The whole PHd thing? Anywho, that was a lie so don't put much credibility into this yet until we hear directly from the horses mouth! Working on that asap!
