Donald Trump Jr’s former wife, Vanessa Trump, has been diagnosed with breast cancer, the model announced on Thursday, penning a long note.
“I want to share a personal health update. I've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. While this isn't news anyone expects, I'm working closely with my medical team on a treatment plan. I would like to thank my doctors for performing a procedure earlier this week on me,” Venessa wrote on Instagram.
She added, “I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids, and those closest to me. Thank you for your kindness and support. It truly means more than I can express. I kindly ask for privacy as I focus on my health and recovery.”
