At 30, Shayma Sabry, a Dubai-based Egyptian blogger, faced a life-changing diagnosis—breast cancer. Instead of celebrating her milestone birthday, she was grappling with a battle she never expected.
Recently, Shayma took to Instagram to share her deeply personal journey, and the response from her followers has been nothing short of heartwarming.
Shayma, who had always feared needles, is now on her third round of chemotherapy, losing her hair and enduring the harsh side effects. Yet through all the challenges, she's discovered a strength she never knew existed.
“Never in my life did I imagine I’d be okay with being bald,” she shared with her 200k+ followers, offering a glimpse into her new reality.
The diagnosis came as a shock, especially for Shayma, a non-smoker with a healthy lifestyle. Her life was flipped upside down, but instead of giving in to despair, she chose to use the experience as a wake-up call to appreciate the blessings she once took for granted.
Her faith continues to play a vital role in her healing. Shayma believes that “Allah doesn’t burden a soul beyond what it can bear,” and she’s determined to emerge stronger than ever. Her story has resonated across borders, with an outpouring of love from influencers like Karen Wazen, Basma Boussel, and Asallah Kamel, turning her message into a beacon of hope for others.
Shayma's journey is a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of community, showing us all how to find light even in the darkest times.
