Lisa’s mother Shirley was diagnosed with terminal cervical cancer in 2020.
In 2021 she revealed she was ‘praying’ for her beloved mother and defiantly declared the devastating disease ‘will not win’.
South London native Lisa, captioned the image: ‘Praying for my mumma today, cancer will not win!’
Lisa also shared a snapshot of herself looking glam in a long wig, as she wrote: ‘You will go through highs and lows, and that’s ok.’
Back in October, the star heartbreakingly detailed her pain over her mother’s battle as she herself faced an agonising wait for test results to see if her abnormal cells were cancerous.
In an interview, Lisa sobbed as she told how she’s had to watch the cancer ‘tear my mum’s body apart’, amid Shirley’s declining health.
Speaking to The Sun Online, the singer urged people to get their smear test after abnormal cells were found in her cervix in March, resulting in her having a colposcopy procedure.
She sobbed as she also told how Shirley had missed her own smear tests for ‘five years’ after being too ‘proud’ and ’embarrassed’ to go to the doctors.

Her mother’s cervical cancer has spread throughout her body and is now terminal.
Opening up about her mum’s ordeal, Lisa said: ‘She’s quite a proud and self-conscious person and gets embarrassed. Going to the doctors and getting a smear she thought it was quite invasive and she put it off.
‘Cancer can grow so quickly, by the time she started to get an ache in her leg and the constant bleeding that alerted her to go to the doctors – it was two years too late.’
Lisa told how the cancer had spread to Shirley’s ‘lymph node glands’ and ‘collar bone’, with her fight with cancer seeing her face so much chemotherapy and radiotherapy, that she lost a kidney as a result.
Her mother previously went into remission for seven years, but the cancer has since come back all over her body.
She’s been told that she’s unable to undergo any further treatment and is now living with terminal cancer.
‘I’ve watched it tear my mum’s body apart in pain all because she missed a test that takes five minutes and it’s done, it can save your life’, Lisa added.

The All Over hitmaker is now determined her ensure her own daughter Chelsea, 24, has a smear test privately, before it is offered by the NHS when she turns 25.
It came after Lisa took to Instagram to assure fans she does not have cervical cancer, after making a confused announcement.
She had posted to Instagram Stories earlier in October, stating that she had been diagnosed with the disease.
But she was forced to amend the post after realising she had made an error, suffering instead from abnormal cells that could develop cancer if left untreated.
