Charl Schwartzel's wife Rosalind has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Treatment is now well underway with the prognosis looking good.
, both Rosalind and Charl are now determined to make their personal ordeal count: by doing their very best to raise breast cancer awareness globally as much as they can.
Team – friends – family 🩷 helping support each other and our families, anyway we can. Every team member has shaved their heads in support of Ros Schwartzel in her fight against breast cancer. If you would like to show your support, feel free to join us in shaving your head, send…Accompanying that Twitter post was a video, which began with Charl sitting in a barber’s chair prior to shaving off his own hair.
“As a team, we all cut our hair because of her… her hair will mostly all fall out in the next week or two. It’s getting really thin now, and we did it just to support her and start showing some awareness of it.”She described how, last November, her 4-year-old son had been playfully wrestling with her and, by accident, hurt her left breast after jumping on her.
“Unfortunately, I didn’t get to six months. Ten weeks later, I felt a lump in the right breast so I came back and had another ultrasound which showed that it had grown quite significantly and the biopsy turned out to be cancer. I have triple-negative breast cancer.”Rosalind had always been told that women should wait until they were aged 40 before having ultrasounds or mammograms. She is no longer a believer in that.
