Vanessa Trump says she is ‘cancer-free’ six months after diagnosis

Vanessa Trump, ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., revealed Friday that she is cancer-free, after beginning treatment for breast cancer earlier this year.

“I am finally cancer-free,” Trump, 48, said in a video posted by her daughter, Kai Trump, who leaned over to hug her mother after she announced the news.

Kai Trump wrote in the caption of the video that they wanted to share her story in part to help raise awareness.

“October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about early detection, education, and support for those affected by breast cancer,” she wrote.

Vanessa Trump was married to the president’s oldest son from 2005 to 2018. They share five children, with Kai Trump, 19, being the oldest.

Kai Trump said she and her mother sat down with Dr. Nicole Saphier, a radiologist who has been a Fox News medical contributor, to discuss breast cancer prevention and early detection.

Vanessa Trump on May 20 first shared that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, though she said in Friday’s video that she had been diagnosed in April.

In her May post, Trump said she was working on a treatment plan with her medical team and had undergone a procedure earlier that week. In an update the following month, Trump shared that she had been recovering from surgery for the last four weeks and was expected to begin the second stage of treatment soon.

Breast cancer rates for women under 50 have increased faster than the rates for older women in recent years, prompting the recommended age for screening to drop from 50 down to 40. About 16% of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer are under 50, according to the American Cancer Society.
