'It Ends With Us' author Colleen Hoover announces she's having cancer treatment - what kind of cancer does she have?
Author Colleen Hoover, who wrote ‘It Ends With Us, has told her fans she has cancer.
The famed writer took to her Instagram story on Monday (January 12) to reveal that she is currently receiving cancer treatment.
"Second to last day of radiation!" Hoover wrote in the post, alongside a photo of her wearing a hospital gown. "I wish I could blame my hair and facial expressions on @texas.oncology but they've been great," Hoover added. "Hope you never need them, but highly recommend them."
Hoover, who just released her latest book called Woman Down, has not publicly announced what type of cancer she has.
The 46-year-old has, however, given some more information about her cancer battle in a Facebook post. She explained that results from genetic testing told her the cancer did not "come from family genes" and that it "also didn't come from the two main causes of the cancer, which are HPV and excessive hormones."
"This means it was more than likely environmental/lifestyle, which is lack of exercise, poor diet and stress," she said, adding "I'm happy and grateful to be alive but I hate vegetables. I hate when I have to get off the couch. I hate sweating. If you see me at the gym, don't even tell me good job. If you see me at a restaurant eating grilled chicken and drinking water, I’m probably real mad about it."
