Citizen TV journalist Lillian Muli has penned down a heartwarming message to Ms Sidner.

“Dear Sara. This is such a powerful message, you are a voice in the fight against breast cancer. Using your personal story to create awareness will transform millions of lives across the world. You are in my thoughts and prayers,” she wrote on Instagram

In an emotional message live on air Sidner announced the personal news.

She said;

“I want to start by asking you to do me a favor. Take a second to recall the names of 8 women in your life, statistically speaking one of them will get or has breast cancer. I am 1 in 8. I have never been really sick a day in my life. I don’t smoke, rarely drink. Breast cancer does not run in my family. And here I stand with stage 3 breast cancer. I am in my second month of chemo.”

“This is not a death sentence anymore. But here is the reality that shocked my systems. Something I never knew before this diagnosis. To all my black woman you are more likely to die from breast cancer than white women. 41 %. Please for the love fo God, get your mammograms every year, do your self-exam, try to catch it before I did.”

“Seeing the kind of suffering going on where I was and seeing people still live through the worst thing that has ever happened to them with grace and kindness, I was blown away by their resilience,” Sidner, 51, tells PEOPLE. “In some weird way, it helped me with my own perspective on what I am going to be facing.”

She finished by pleading with all women to do their mammograms and self-exams
