In September, Ali received news that changed her life forever - she was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. As a former star of the popular TV show Hollyoaks, Ali Bastian has been vocal about her journey with cancer and recently shared an update on her condition.
The 42-year-old actress first discovered a lump in her breast while breastfeeding her daughter, Isabella. Initially, doctors thought it was a blocked duct, but after a round of antibiotics, further tests revealed the presence of cancerous cells. Ali is now undergoing weekly chemotherapy and will have a mastectomy and radiotherapy next year.
In a recent interview, Ali opened up about her experience with hair loss due to chemotherapy. She admitted feeling hesitant to take off her wig and embrace her bald head. "I thought it would be like losing my identity," she said. "But then it felt alright, and it just felt normal. I'm hot, and my bald head needs some air!" Ali also shared that she now regularly goes around her house with a bald head.
As someone who was once in the public eye, Ali was afraid that losing her hair would make her "just a cancer patient" in the eyes of others. However, she believes that losing her hair is a small price to pay for regaining her health.
Ali also spoke about the importance of women checking their bodies and being aware of any changes. "Pregnancy and breastfeeding are sensitive times for women, and we're not exempt from needing to check our breasts during this time," she said. "If something doesn't feel right, get it checked. I'll do anything I can to raise awareness for women to check their breasts."
In addition to her own journey, Ali is also using her platform to share soap and TV news with fans. She encourages readers to join the Metro's Soaps community on WhatsApp, where they can get access to spoiler galleries, must-watch videos, and exclusive interviews. She also urges readers to leave a comment and stay updated on all things soaps on the homepage.
Ali's story serves as a reminder that cancer can affect anyone, regardless of their fame or status. But through her openness and determination, she is using her experience to raise awareness and encourage women to prioritize their health.
