Prominent Lebanese superstar, Elissa urged women to undergo screening for early detection of breast cancer, noting that cure rates of such disease are up to 100%.
On the fringe of a press conference held earlier Wednesday Elissa said that she never blamed God for her illness.
Moreover, Elissa decided to dedicate 40% of her new jewelry campaign sales to every patient who could not bear treatment expenses.
Noteworthy, Elissa announced her battle with the illness in August last year with the release of the music video Ila Kol Elli Bihebbouni (To Those Who Love Me).

The Lebanese star, who has overcome the disease for now, decided not to talk about her breast cancer diagnosis at first, saying, “I am a strong woman and initially I didn’t want people to know because I didn’t want them to look at me and say ‘what a pity, she is ill’.
"I didn’t even tell my own family members because I didn’t want the news to reach my mother. I didn’t want her to worry.”
