Suzanne Somers Updates Fans Amid Ongoing Cancer Battle

Suzanne Somers is keeping fans in the loop regarding her ongoing battle with cancer.

The 76-year-old Three’s Company actress has been dealing with cancer since her 20′s and was recently told that she had to undergo treatment for breast cancer again.

She opened up about the process and how she’s feeling while thanking everyone for their support.

“I have been living with cancer since my 20’s. And every time that little f***** pops up, I continue to bat it back. I do my best not to let this insidious disease control me,” Suzanne said in a statement shared with ET. “It’s a recurrence of my breast cancer. Like any cancer patient, when you get that’s dreaded, ‘It’s back’ you get a pit in your stomach. Then I put on my battle gear and go to war. This is familiar battleground for me and I’m very tough.”

She continued, speaking about how her diagnosis has impacted her relationship with her family. “Alan [Hamel, her husband] and I got even closer and every moment of every day was precious. We have not spent even one day apart in over 42 years. That’s the big upside of my cancer,” she said.

Suzanne provided another update on Instagram: “Since I have been taking time off from work, many of you have asked for more details about my health. As you know, I had breast cancer two decades ago, and every now and then it pops up again, and I continue to bat it down. I have used the best alternative and conventional treatments to combat it. This is not new territory for me. I know how to put on my battle gear and I’m a fighter. Alan has been by my side every step of the way. I can’t even explain how much he has done for me. If it’s even possible, we are even closer than ever. My incredible family has been so supportive, and have helped so much by keeping the business running so you can still have access to all the wonderful products. Thank you for the continued love and support. It’s only about who you love and who loves you – and I love you!”
