A Nigerian woman, Kate Bassey, who lost three ribs during her battle with cancer, has encouraged people to romanticise their lives and create beautiful memories.
Bassey shared the advice in a Facebook post on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, alongside a throwback video of herself taken a few months before her cancer diagnosis.
Captioning the video, she wrote: “POV: She doesn’t know it yet, but a few months after this, she would lose three ribs to cancer.”
In a reflective message, Bassey urged people to cherish life’s moments, noting that positive memories can provide strength during difficult times.
“Romanticise your life as much as you can. Beautiful memories can hold you up through bad times. I know this because it’s literally my life story,” she wrote.
Speaking candidly about her body after cancer, she added that while the scars and dents left by the illness have affected her confidence, she continues to embrace herself.
“I love my body and myself so much. Every scar and dent inflicted on me by cancer has made me feel less confident. A moment for the hot legs, please,” she added.
