Shirley Chung Instagram – Introducing Shirley Chung 2.0 !! ✌️💪 11 months ago, May 30th 2024, I was diagnosed with stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma tongue cancer. The tumor was hidden on the bottom left of my tongue, and it was progressing so aggressively that in less than 1 week of the diagnosis, it took over almost my entire tongue. Since 100% removal of my tongue was not an option for me as a chef. I moved to Chicago, started radiation chemo treatments in @uchicago under Dr Vokes and Dr.Juloori’s care. I completed 9 weeks, 27 chemos, then 10 weeks 50 radiation and 24 hour chemo drip.💛My first 3 month scans came back 98% cleared, only 2 of my left lymph nodes had cancer cells. I just completed my 6 month scans, I can proudly say, no cancer cell was detected in my body, I am in 100% Remission!! 🦄I am still healing, learning to speak again and started to have solid food 2 meals a day. Dr Vokes said I need to continue to get tests and scans for 2 years, then I will be officially cured. But I am feeling great, and can’t wait to get back to life! 🔥In my cancer journey, so many of you reaching out, checking on me, digging me out when I was depressed.❤️Your love, your prayers, your support carried me forward, helped me heal, helped me always see the light. 🐦‍🔥2.0 is stronger because I am powered by all of your love 💕 Sincerely Thank You from the bottom of my heart. 💜 I will share details of my fighting journey in the next few weeks, and I hope it will help other cancer warriors, it’s time for me to pay it forward 🥰. #chefshirleychung #cancerwarrior #cancerjourney #oralcancer #survivor #shirleychung2.0 #unicorn #fuckcancer | Posted on 08/May/2025 06:27:47
