Hallmark’s Crystal Lowe Reveals Stage 3 Breast Cancer, Begins Chemotherapy

She shared the news to raise awareness after an initially inconclusive screening.

Overview

  • Lowe disclosed the diagnosis in a People essay and on social media, saying she has started treatment.
  • She completed her first infusion of Doxorubicin and told followers she plans to document her recovery.
  • In February she found a right-breast mass that early mammogram and guided ultrasound did not flag; a later blind biopsy confirmed invasive carcinoma and subsequent tests staged it at three.
  • Her care plan includes chemotherapy followed by a bilateral mastectomy, radiation, and reconstruction with implants.
  • Hallmark colleagues coordinated schedule changes to accommodate her treatment, and co-stars and fans voiced support as she leans on her husband and two young children.
