Her doctors plan continued immunotherapy for a year with remission considered only after three years disease-free.

Overview

  • Sharing the update on Oct. 3, she announced the news on her Two T’s in a Pod podcast with guest co-host Dolores Catania and in an Instagram Reel.
  • She stressed she remains in active treatment, experiences side effects, and must be cautious because her immune system is compromised.
  • She said she is not considered in remission at this time under her care team’s three-year framework.
  • Her melanoma was diagnosed in 2022 and advanced to stage 4 with metastases to her brain and lungs, leading to radiation, immunotherapy, and 17 surgeries.
