Love Story’s Constance Zimmer Details Private Breast Cancer Battle
Constance Zimmer is looking back at a difficult chapter.
With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Love Story star reflected on navigating her private battle with breast cancer while promoting the Hulu series earlier this year.
“I never thought I’d be honoring it with my own story,” Zimmer admitted in her Oct. 4 Instagram post. “On March 13th when I was away from home—I heard these words from my doctor over Zoom: ‘You have DCIS, also referred to as Stage 0 breast cancer.'”
“The silence was deafening,” she continued. “First, I had to call my husband and get home to tell our daughter in person. The mental toll that followed was overwhelming on certain days as I began talking to many more doctors than I would’ve liked.
The 55-year-old—who shares daughter Colette Lamoureux, 18, with husband Russ Lamoureux—said the most suggested course of action would be a mastectomy, a procedure to remove all or part of her breast.
