“So, I would like to share something with our listeners … I was recently diagnosed with DCIS, which is a form of breast cancer,” said the mother-of-two.
“It is very, very, very early. It’s technically stage zero,” she added. “I was diagnosed with high-grade DCIS with micro invasion. And I’m going to be fine. I’m having surgery to remove it.”
Prior to her diagnosis, the 90s TV icon believed she would “suffer in silence” if she was ever diagnosed with cancer. But she eventually decided it felt right to tell people.

“For some reason, I had always thought [if I were diagnosed with cancer], I would suffer in silence. I would get the diagnosis. I would not tell anyone,” she said. “I would tell only my small group, and then, I would just suck it up. And then when I’m on the other side of it, then I would tell people.”
