Vanessa first discovered her breast cancer in April. She publicly disclosed the diagnosis in May and explained that she had undergone surgery and was working with her medical team to develop a treatment plan.
According to the American Cancer Society, most breast cancers can be cured with surgery; residual disease may be addressed with chemotherapy, radiotherapy and endocrine therapy to reduce long-term risk. Recent advances in targeted therapies and precision radiotherapy continue to improve outcomes for patients with early‑stage disease.
