Nicole Dyer-Griffith, a former Miss Universe TT and the wife of NTA leader Gary Griffith has breast cancer.
She made the announcement via a video on a Faceook page.
Dyer-Griffith, who was also a former minister, said the cancer is at stage three and said she was diagnosed with the disease, the same week she hosted O2N Style at O2 Park.
“The journey thus far has been one from distress to discovery. I have unearthed such power, peace and perseverance that I can safely say this chapter has truly made me find unique methods of oxygenating not only myself, but also those who are traversing this journey along with me,” she said.
She thanked her husband, her son Gary Griffith III, her mother, her brothers and friends for their support, saying they have been a “complete blessing”.
