The 82-year-old actress, known for her role as Maggie Horton on "Days of Our Lives, " recently revealed that she is now in remission after battling stage 2 colorectal cancer. Rogers shared this update during the show's 60th-anniversary celebration. She admitted that her summer was tough, with surgeries and radiation treatments. But she also mentioned a silver lining: she didn't lose her hair. "I guess I got it early, " she said, referring to her diagnosis. The type of cancer she had and the treatment she received worked well together. "It was pills and radiation, " she explained. "It didn’t affect me much, and that was good. " This health scare has changed Rogers' perspective. She now focuses on what truly matters. "I don’t worry about the small things, " she said. "It’s not worth it. " She also credited her family and her priest for supporting her through this challenging time. Rogers is slowly regaining her strength. "It’s about 70% right now, " she said. She's taking life as it comes, not rushing into anything. Colorectal cancer is a serious disease, but early detection and treatment can make a big difference. Rogers' story is a reminder of the importance of regular check-ups and listening to our bodies.
