It\u2019s the invasive ones, and I might get skin grafts,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She also expressed concern about the procedure, noting that her heavily tattooed body presents an added challenge for potential skin grafts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem that I have now is that my body is 90% covered in tattoos, so where do I get skin from?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors are still conducting further tests to determine the depth of the cancer and whether it has spread.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do not know how deep they are and I am hoping they have not gone into the bone, because apparently they can. I have had some of them for many years and I just did not know that it was cancer,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson was also quick to clear up misconceptions, explaining that her condition is not linked to her tattoos.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, she pointed to genetics and environmental factors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has nothing to do with the tattoos, because it is in my genes; my mom had it, and the African sun. I have very light skin,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the physical diagnosis, the reality star hinted at the emotional toll the past few weeks have taken on her, revealing feelings of isolation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been a lot these past few weeks. I just do not talk about it, I am just quiet. The people in my life that I thought would care just do not message me, do not speak to me. They just don\u2019t care,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Jojo #Robinson #reveals #skin #cancer #diagnosis #prepares #surgery<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Jojo Robinson diagnosed with skin cancer South African reality TV star Jojo Robinson has opened up about a deeply&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54888,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54887"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54887\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54889,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54887\/revisions\/54889"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
