Vanessa Trump, 48, reveals breast cancer diagnosis: ‘This isn’t the news anyone expects’
Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., revealed Wednesday that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Trump, 48, shared the devastating “personal health update” in an Instagram post.
“I’ve recently been diagnosed with breast cancer,” she wrote. “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.”
Trump said she is “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,” she added. “I kindly ask for privacy as l focus on my health and recovery.”
Trump, who was married to Donald Jr., from 2005 to 2018, shares five children with ex-husband — 19-year-old Kai, 17-year-old Donald, 14-year-old Tristan, 13-year-old Spencer and Chloe, 11.
