Ünal, who preferred to establish a more peaceful life for herself and her children, had created a significant stir in the media with this decision.
The famous actress surprised and moved her fans with her latest post on social media. Ünal revealed for the first time that she has been battling breast cancer for 10 months.
"IT WAS THE FIRST DAY OF THE NEW YEAR... WHAT A SURPRISE!"
Irmak Ünal described the moment she received her cancer diagnosis with the following words:
"When I heard the words 'breast cancer' in the results, it was the first day of the new year... what a surprise! And I didn't know that this would both completely break me and rebuild me. This journey is both very real, very difficult, and in a way that is hard to describe, transformative..."
The famous actress shared her experience candidly, highlighting the awareness this period has brought to her life.
"EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES"
Reminding that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Ünal emphasized the importance of early detection:
"I have learned very clearly during this process: early detection really saves lives. Knowledge means power, not fear. And I am very lucky to be surrounded by an incredible team of doctors who guide me with the light of science and heart."
Additionally, she reached out to those going through similar processes, giving a message of solidarity and hope:
"To everyone who is going through this path or has a loved one who is... I see you, I feel you. Healing is not a straight line, but when allowed, there is a miraculous grace within it. And you can witness the light of the Creator."
"I WAS NEVER ALONE"
Ünal also thanked her loved ones who supported her during her illness:
"No matter how much I said at the operating room door, 'Wow, I'm all alone, I'm going in all by myself,' I was never alone. I always felt the presence of God. Thank you to my companions on this journey, especially my sister, my mother, my children, my dear family, and my closest friends for walking with me on this path."
