Vanessa Trump revealed Wednesday that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and recently underwent a medical procedure as she begins treatment and recovery.
“I’ve recently been diagnosed with breast cancer,” Vanessa wrote in an Instagram post. “While this isn’t news anyone expects, I’m working closely with my medical team on a treatment plan.” She also disclosed that doctors performed “a procedure earlier this week,” though she did not provide additional details about the stage of the cancer or specifics of her treatment plan.
She thanked her family and supporters while asking for privacy during her recovery. Ivanka Trump responded publicly, writing: “Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery. Love you mama.” The post was also liked by Tiffany Trump as messages of support poured in across social media.
