'It Ends With Us' author Colleen Hoover opens up about cancer journey
It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover opened up about her battle with cancer.
In a now-expired Instagram story posted on Jan. 12, the bestselling author shared that she's almost done with her radiation treatment.
“Second to last day of radiation,” she wrote in a post.
In another IG story, she said she's now "doing much better."
Hoover added that she has known about her disease for a while now but decided to "keep it private until after finding out my surgery was successful and what my other treatments would be."
Her update came a few days after disclosing that she was diagnosed with a type of cancer.
“I got results back today from the geneticist that say my cancer did not come from family genes,” she wrote on Facebook on Jan. 9. "It also didn’t come from the two main causes of the cancer, which are HPV and excessive hormones. This means it was more than likely environmental/lifestyle, which is lack of exercise, poor diet, and stress."
"I’m happy and grateful to be alive but I hate vegetables. I hate when I have to get off the couch. I hate sweating," Hoover added. "I hate when science is right. If you see me at the gym, don’t even tell me good job. If you see me at a restaurant eating grilled chicken and drinking water, I’m probably real mad about it."
In October, the author missed the premiere of Regretting You, another film based on her work, as well as other appointments due to an “unavoidable surgery.”
