💔My mother died Saturday night from Covid. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her and I am devastated. Faithlyn Scott was an angel who helped thousands in their time of need and cared for their children when they couldn’t. Thank you mom for getting me over the finish line.
Guess who had successful surgery yesterday? This girl. The tumor is out! No spread! Walked around today. Let’s gooo💪🏾. Thx for all the prayers and well wishes from the bottom of my ❤️ More

I’m very touched by all who reached out to see how I’m doing. Unfortunately, my cancer has metastasized in my liver and I’m back in treatment. It’s rough, but the chemo is working. 🙏🏽 for me. Prayers have carried me through the difficult moments. Thank u for rooting for me❤️
Great news. My tumor shrank significantly. The cancer hasn’t spread. Now, on to the possible life saving Whipple Surgery on Wednesday. Early detection is key. Prayers work. Thank you for each 1. Surgery is tough, but I’ll travel any road that allows me to live.

It took some time to bounce back from round 1 of chemo❤️🩹Honestly, I was like welp, this ain’t gonna work out cause I ain’t coming back. Today I’m like bring it on. I’m ready to kick this cancer’s ass. 😂I’m feeling good. Perspective! Thanks for all the 💕and personal prayers 🙏🏾
6th round! I know these pants were a little bright for the crowd, but everyone wears sad colors to chemo. I’m changing that for myself. How it started isn’t how it ended. Lots of nausea and vomiting, but I’m bouncing back.

“All you folks who prayed for me, sent me flowers and gifts and blankets and socks, I can’t thank you enough,” said
@RuschellBoone
, who returned to the NY1 anchor desk today after battling pancreatic cancer for nine months.
You may have noticed that our Ruschell Boone hasn't been at the anchor desk at NY1 recently. That’s because Ruschell is currently undergoing treatment for cancer. Ruschell, everyone here wishes you the best, and we can’t wait for you to come back.
This young man got emotional while talking to me about why he is protesting. He said, “I'm only 26. I want to get out there, I want to see the world...I want to spread love to the world. Why should I be stifled of that because I’m black?
No sugarcoating it. Chemo kicked my butt like an old Mike Tyson PPV fight. KO’d in the first round! The fatigue laid me out, but I’m back. The next few days will be great! Being tough doesn’t mean being invincible. Many of you knew that, but it’s a new lesson for me.
