Vanessa Trump, 48, announced Friday that she is cancer-free, six months after being diagnosed with breast cancer in April. She shared the update in a video posted to her 19-year-old daughter Kai Trump’s Instagram account, saying her recent testing came back clear. Kai captioned the post,“She’s finally cancer free.”
The announcement lands during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Kai framed it that way, writing that October is“a time to raise awareness about early detection, education, and support for those affected by breast cancer.”The video follows Vanessa’s diagnosis and the road she traveled to get to this point, with a message that screening and catching things early make a real difference.
For anyone who wants to go deeper, a longer conversation with Dr. Nicole Saphier is set to be released Saturday on YouTube, covering prevention and early detection. If this story has you thinking about your own health, that’s the takeaway: book the appointment you’ve been putting off.
