In 2017, she revealed that she is dealing with breast cancer which was initially diagnosed in 2015. The actress posted her picture on the hospital bed with the heartbreaking caption:

“Ct scan to do mapping for radiation plan. This scared me so much. Not sure why. Was supposed to get it with contrast but the minute they started looking at which vein to use I started crying. Full panic attack. Sometimes, you just get sick of being poked. And that’s ok. I cried. I felt sorry for myself for a minute.
