Describing the diagnosis as a “total shock,” Bastian opened up about her ongoing treatment, which includes chemotherapy.
Bastian also disclosed that she would undergo a single mastectomy and radiotherapy as part of her medical care.
In her emotional post, Bastian shared how she is grappling with the reality of her diagnosis.
“It was a total shock. I have mornings when I wake up and I have forgotten. Then suddenly, I remember. I’m still trying to process it,” she wrote.
She initially thought her symptoms were linked to breastfeeding, suspecting a blocked duct. However, after noticing the lump wasn’t clearing up, Bastian sought medical attention. “The more I felt it, the more it seemed like it wasn’t just a blocked duct. I went to my GP and said, ‘Actually, can I go to the clinic now?’ She was very supportive of that,” the actress added.
