Despite coming from a relatively cancer-free family, she was left in a state of astonishment so much so that she remembers apologizing to her husband, immediately after. She quipped:

“You're like, ‘I'm sorry that you're going to have to deal with this’. I mean you always think that you're going to be okay. But, I think it's your family you worry about. The impact you're going to have on them.”

She might be cancer free today but she's humble enough to understand that she might not have done so if it weren't the support from her fans and family. She told K5 News:

“I had so many people rally around me, and you find out just how loved you are by those right around you and then those beyond you as well.”
