She also said that she feels free after she shared the news about her cancer and hair loss with her fans. She went on to write:

“How or why this simple act gave me such a powerful lift I did not question, but I thanked God or whatever gave me the internal push to move forward and expose myself. I certainly wasn’t expecting the response of love and kindness that flowed to me. My capacity to receive requires a massive expansion! I am ecstatically alive and what interests me post-cancer is #AUTHENTICITY. #VULNERABILITY. #TRANSPARENCY. And of course #LOVE.”

She thanked her fans thus:

“Thank you again for your love and for sharing your personal stories of struggle with #cancer and #hair loss and getting your footing in the world. Always, Marcia.”

Her fans were quick in cheering her up. One of them wrote:

“That is battle hair! You look amazing as a warrior princess.”

Another of her fan wrote:

“You look fantastic. I’m so sorry to hear that you have had to go through this journey. Im a breast cancer survivor and also lost my hair. It was nice not to have to shave my legs and it did make getting ready for work so easy. Your hair will grow back and in the meantime, embrace your beauty. You did it! You beat cancer! Xoxox.”

In an interview in 2017, Marcia Cross revealed that she has been diagnosed with anal cancer after a routine digital rectal checkup by her gynecologist. After knowing this, she did 6 weeks of radiation and a chemotherapy cycle.

While undergoing those cycles, she said,

“In the beginning, I just sort of lay down for the parting of the cheeks and I would float away. Because what are you going to do?”

After the treatment, she recovered and wanted to share her story,

“I want to help put a dent in the stigma around anal cancer. I’ve read a lot of cancer-survivor stories, and many people, women especially, were too embarrassed to say what kind of cancer they had. There is a lot of shame about it. I want that to stop.”
