Author Colleen Hoover has provided an important health update following her recent cancer diagnosis. On January 16, 2025, Hoover clarified via Facebook that she is now cancer-free after undergoing successful surgery and completing radiation treatment. “Just clarification because of some misleading clickbait making it sound like I’m on my deathbed or something, but I do not have cancer anymore,” she stated. This announcement comes a month after she revealed her diagnosis to fans.
Details of the Diagnosis and Treatment
In December 2024, Hoover disclosed that she had been diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer. She shared this information during a challenging period, explaining that she had experienced ongoing health issues while filming her upcoming project, Reminders of Him, in Canada. “When I returned home, I found out I had cancer,” she wrote at the time. She emphasized that the cancer was surgically removed and that she had undergone radiation therapy, which she completed just days before her recent post.
Hoover expressed her relief, stating, “I am done and good and all is well and has been well. My doctors doctored. Hell yeah.” She also conveyed her gratitude for the quick resolution to her health crisis, acknowledging that while the experience was daunting, it ultimately turned out positively.
Reflections on Health and Lifestyle
As she concluded her treatment, Hoover took a moment to acknowledge her medical team at Texas Oncology. In an Instagram Story, she shared a photo of herself in a hospital gown, expressing appreciation for their care. “Hope you never need them, but highly recommend them,” she wrote, reflecting her gratitude for the support she received during her treatment.
As a prominent figure in contemporary literature, Hoover’s experiences resonate with many, and her candidness about her health challenges serves as an inspiration to her fans. Her journey emphasizes the importance of health awareness and the courage needed to face personal battles.
