Sharing a picture of herself in the hospital, Joanna said that the reason she posted about her experience was because she felt that “talking about our breasts really should be destigmatised by now”.
She also went on to thank the healthcare professionals who took care of her as well as those who sent her their well wishes. She added that she was thankful to her younger self for getting a “solid” insurance policy, recommending that everyone, especially freelancers in the arts, get their policies in check.
While she is recuperating, Joanna Dong will miss a few rehearsals for the upcoming National Day Parade, in which she is scheduled to perform. Performing in her place will be singer Tay Kexin, who is a member of the vocal group MICappella. In an Instagram Story on Jun 30, Joanna reshared a video of Kexin performing at a rehearsal and praised her, saying “She ate!”
