Determined to raise awareness, Jean returned to Facebook, celebrating how her “ugly fingernails” played a pivotal role in saving her life. The post triggered discussions about health awareness, emphasizing the significance of early check-ups. While critics noted the complexities of cancer diagnoses, survivors stressed the importance of awareness.
