Somers' breast cancer

She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000. In 2007, Somers shared with Los Angeles Times that she was cancer-free after treatment with radiation, alternative medicine and a lumpectomy.

In July 2023, she revealed to her fans that her breast cancer had resurfaced and promised to fight and overcome it again.

"As you know, I had breast cancer two decades ago, and every now and then it pops up again, and I continue to bat it down. I have used the best alternative and conventional treatments to combat it,” she had posted on Instagram.

“This is not new territory for me. I know how to put on my battle gear and I’m a fighter," she added.
