#PRAYERS: Legendary R&B & Gospel Singer Candi Staton Says She Has Breast Cancer! 🙏😢🌹
Candi Staton says she’s been diagnosed with breast cancer. The 78-year-old said she received the news over the summer on the first day of rehearsals for her tour. She will begin 12 weeks of chemotherapy on Tuesday.
The 78-year-old said she received the news over the summer on the first day of rehearsals for her tour. She writes in a statement, “I decided to keep it to myself and do some soul searching. I went through all of the emotions: denial, poor me and anger.”
But she says that being on the road helped her.
Staton will begin 12 weeks of chemotherapy on Tuesday. She says she found a lump through self-check and she’s encouraging women, “including elderly women — to get a regular mammogram.”
The Grammy-nominated soul and gospel singer’s Top 40 hits include “Young Hearts Run Free” “When You Wake Up Tommorrow” and “Victim”. Staton released the album, “Unstoppable,” earlier this year.
Lets go down Memory Lane of some of her Hits!
'When You Wake Up Tomorrow'
We send our Thoughts and prayers to Candi as she battles this. He's a Healer!
