Colleen Hoover, the bestselling author of “It Ends With Us,” recently shared an update on her health following her cancer diagnosis. On January 16, 2025, Hoover addressed concerns generated by misleading reports suggesting her condition was severe, clarifying, “I do not have cancer anymore.”
In her message posted on Facebook, the 46-year-old writer explained that she was diagnosed with cancer in 2024, underwent successful surgery, and had just completed her radiation treatment. “I am done and good and all is well and has been well. My doctors doctored. Hell yeah,” she wrote, expressing relief and gratitude for her recovery.
Hoover initially revealed her diagnosis in December 2024. During that time, she explained that while filming her project “Reminders of Him” in Canada, she experienced ongoing health issues that she attributed to the stress of production. Upon returning home, tests confirmed she had cancer, which was subsequently removed through surgery. She noted that she was fortunate not to require chemotherapy, despite the emotional toll of missing significant personal and professional moments.
In her latest updates, Hoover emphasized the importance of listening to one’s body. She reflected on the challenges she faced, stating, “It was so easy to ignore fatigue and other more serious symptoms.”
She also shared insights from her recent genetic testing, which indicated that her cancer was not linked to family genetics or common causes such as HPV and excessive hormones. Instead, she suggested that factors such as lack of exercise, poor diet, and stress likely contributed to her condition. “I’m happy and grateful to be alive, but I hate vegetables. I hate when I have to get off the couch,” she humorously remarked.
As of her latest update, Hoover is nearing the end of her radiation treatment at Texas Oncology, sharing a candid photo of herself in a hospital gown on her Instagram Story. She expressed appreciation for the care she received, stating, “I wish I could blame my hair and facial expressions on @texas.oncology, but they’ve been pretty great.”
Hoover has garnered significant media attention beyond her health updates, particularly since the legal battles surrounding the film adaptation of “It Ends With Us,” directed by Justin Baldoni and starring Blake Lively. Amidst this backdrop, her health journey has resonated deeply with her fans and readers.
As she continues her recovery, Hoover’s candidness about her experiences serves as a reminder of the importance of health awareness. Her message encourages others to prioritize their well-being, even amidst the pressures of work and life.
