by

Actress Alicia Witt, 46, famous for the series “Walking Dead”, revealed on Wednesday (1st) that she is cured of breast cancer and that she had a mastectomy. In a long post with video and photos on social media, she told details of the disease two months after completing chemotherapy.

Alicia thanked the doctor and other healthcare professionals involved in her treatment, who helped keep her spirits up during treatment and protected her privacy. She also spoke of the tradition of patients ringing the bell at the hospital when they finish their cancer treatment.

“I had a small team of human angels surrounding me for all six treatments, not just keeping my spirits up, but trying to maintain the hair, which was obviously the least of my worries.”

The actress said that maintaining confidentiality was very important, because the beginning of cancer treatment was at the same time as her parents’ death. Robert, 87, and Diane Witt, 75, were found dead at her home in Worcester, Massachusetts, in December last year.

“I deeply wanted to keep my diagnosis a secret until I was 100% healed, God willing. I am so grateful to all those along the way during treatment who honored me by protecting my privacy during these months.”
