Patrice Aminati Reports Night of Overwhelming Side Effects

A post from the presenter highlights severe pain and sleeplessness as she continues active treatment for advanced melanoma after scans showed some metastases were not responding.

Overview

  • In the early hours of Sunday, Aminati posted on Instagram that 'overwhelming side effects' from her cancer and its treatment left her awake and in pain.
  • Her update used short, direct phrases — 'Pain. Fear. Endure. Hold on.' — and said she copes by collecting positive memories to lean on during hard nights.
  • An MRI in summer 2026 found some metastases were not responding fully to therapy, and physicians added radiation to her treatment plan.
  • Aminati continues to document both difficult and hopeful moments publicly, sharing outings, yoga and a gala appearance while receiving therapies and medications.
  • Following her separation from Daniel Aminati, she now lives with her young daughter at her parents' home and relies on close family support during ongoing palliative care.
