The actress was diagnosed with breast cancer in the summer of 2022. She underwent chemotherapy and in December of last year gave a final update on her health. “I'm still in rehab and listening carefully to my body,” she wrote on social media at the time. “I'm very happy with the progress I've made in recent weeks and months. I've often hit my limits, but that's exactly why I'm making progress, I think. I'm still far from where I want/need to be, but I'm patient. Everything is in time, Everything will be fine.”
