Winnie Bwire, an actress best known for playing Dida on the Sultana show, has admitted she has been battling breast cancer.
The multi-talented actress detailed her battle with cancer in a heartfelt letter and thanked God for giving her life.
“As we mark the end of the breast cancer awareness month, I’d love to appreciate your love and support through my journey. Those in the know walked with me from the very beginning. We’re almost at the end of the lap, and I count myself blessed to have people like you in my life. A big thank you to God- heh, he is the star of my show. Ukweli usemwe.
Dida, who plays JJ’s girlfriend on Sultana, was grateful for the support from her parents, her family, and fellow actor Dan Sonko.
“A big thank you to my parents, my in-laws, my cousins, my co-workers, my bosses, my Ddctor and nurses, my children and last but definitely not least, my best friend, my love and caregiver Dan Sonko,” she said.
The cancer warrior shared photos of her clean shaved head, wearing a white dress accompanied by cancer awareness hashtags.
“Without y’all, this journey wouldn’t be as smooth. I am here today because of the love, support and sheild you’ve surround me with from the very start,” she continued.
In the event that they are diagnosed with cancer, Bwire urged women to get screened regularly and never let the disease beat them.
“Breast cancer knows no age, colour, size or gender. Know your body and treat it right. To all my warriors out there, keep fighting. Your life is yours to live. Don’t let cancer outlive you. Don’t let it ever stop you. Don’t let it eat at your brain,” she encouraged.
Bwire’s followers prayed for her and gave her encouragement on social media.
