Tracey Emin has shared a powerful message on her 62nd birthday, reflecting on her “life changing” surgeries for bladder cancer in 2020 that left her using a urostomy bag.
The visual artist underwent a series of major procedures, including a full hysterectomy, as well as the removal of her urethra, bladder, lymph nodes, and part of her vagina and intestine. She announced that the cancer was “gone” following the surgeries in April 2021.
