Days of Our Lives’ Icon Suzanne Rogers Says She’s in Remission After Stage 2 Colorectal Cancer

After completing surgery, radiation and oral chemotherapy in July, the 82-year-old reports rising energy as she prepares to return to set.

Overview

  • Rogers confirmed her remission in interviews published Nov. 10 after speaking at Peacock’s Days of Our Lives 60th anniversary celebration on Nov. 8.
  • She sought care this summer after noticing symptoms, with a colonoscopy, MRI, PET scan and biopsy confirming a stage 2 colorectal cancer diagnosis.
  • Her treatment removed the cancer and included daily radiation with six weeks of oral chemotherapy, which she said did not cause hair loss.
  • She finished therapy on July 31 and now estimates her energy at about 70 percent, telling TV Insider she expects to start filming again next week.
  • The show’s summer hiatus and far‑ahead taping limited on‑screen disruption, producers previously denied retirement rumors, and a brief gap for her character is expected in 2026 due to the production calendar.
