Nivea went on to explain that she has been receiving treatment and that her progress has been positive so far.

“I’ve been going through treatment and everything is going great so far, and I expect it to continue. Amen, amen, amen!”

The mother of four said the experience has placed life into sharper perspective, inspiring her to embrace new opportunities, spend meaningful time with her children, and reconnect with music.

She has also enrolled in school to study audio engineering, a longtime ambition that she is now actively pursuing alongside her return to the stage.

Rather than allowing the diagnosis to bring her plans to a halt, Nivea said she is approaching this chapter with gratitude, faith, and a renewed determination to do the things that matter most to her.
