Anna, the wife of former soccer player Park Ju-ho, revealed her journey from a Stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis through chemotherapy to surgery.

On the 30th, a video titled "The Breast Cancer Treatment Process I Experienced Directly: From Chemotherapy Side Effects to Reconstructive Surgery and Radiation Therapy" was released on the YouTube channel 'My daily life'.

On that day, recalling her breast cancer diagnosis, Anna advised, "I would not recommend looking it up alone on the internet before receiving an accurate diagnosis of what type of breast cancer it is or what stage it is."

She said, "While searching online, I was convinced it would not be that serious. I thought it was definitely Stage 1, and even if it were bad, I assumed it would be around Stage 2," adding, "When I actually found out it was Stage 3, it was a huge shock."

Anna later revealed that she underwent two types of chemotherapy. She stated, "I received treatment with chemotherapy drugs called AC and Taxol," recalling, "After my first round of AC chemotherapy, I felt fine at first. There was no sensation, but when evening came, I suddenly felt as if the floor beneath me had disappeared."

She continued, "It felt unreal, as if everything was draining out of my body. I don't know how to explain it. It was like being knocked unconscious by a KO in a boxing match."

In particular, Anna shared, "Ju-ho had to help me up; I couldn't get up on my own. I barely remember what happened at that time," describing the difficult situation she faced then.

She said, "It seems to be one of the side effects of chemotherapy. It is not a complete loss of memory, but everything felt hazy," adding, "Once my physical condition improved, I would receive the next round of chemotherapy, and this process repeated itself."

She added, "The first round of chemotherapy seemed to be the hardest. My condition was still not good afterward, but it was not as bad as at the beginning."

Anna also revealed the physical changes she experienced during chemotherapy. She stated, "I received monthly injections to suppress my uterine function," adding, "At that time, I experienced symptoms similar to menopause, which were very uncomfortable."

She explained, "It was not actually menopause. Mainly, I frequently felt hot flashes and my body felt a bit uncomfortable."

Anna revealed that at the time of her breast cancer diagnosis, the cancer had metastasized to her lymph nodes. She said, "I had Stage 3 breast cancer, and the cancer had spread to the lymph nodes. Those lymph nodes also had to be removed," adding, "So now, I have almost no lymph nodes left."

She also explained the process of receiving a mastectomy. Anna stated, "I met with a plastic surgeon before the surgery. At first, I thought I would have to remove my entire breast, but that is not what actually happened."

She shared, "They ensured that the appearance was preserved as much as possible, and it actually remains the same. There is only a small scar at the incision site."

However, there were changes after the surgery. Anna explained, "I can no longer breastfeed because the internal tissue no longer functions properly," adding, "It looks exactly the same from the outside."

Meanwhile, Anna is married to Park Ju-ho and has three children: Naeun, Geon-hoo, and Jin-woo. She is currently eight months pregnant with her fourth child and is preparing for delivery.
