Anastacia to undergo radiation therapy
Singer/songwriter Anastacia will soon begin six weeks of radiation therapy as she continues to battle breast cancer, according to a statement issued by her publicist on Monday (3/3). She underwent 7 hours of surgery on Feb. 10 to remove the cancer and reconstruct her breast, and doctors termed the surgery a success.
“Although what Anastacia has is serious, she is very lucky,” Anastacia’s surgeon, Dr. Alexander Swistel, said in a statement. “Due to the aggressive nature of her cancer, she was month’s away from a more immediate life-threatening condition. However, her prognosis is good, as are her spirits, which figures into any patient’s successful recovery.”
