Colleen Hoover has revealed she’s been battling cancer. The author behind the Blake Lively movie, It Ends With Us, took to social media to share a snap of herself during her treatment.
Hoover, 46, informed fans that she was approaching the end of her radiation treatment for the condition. It’s reported that Colleen had initially shared her diagnosis, privately, last month. But this week, she confirmed that she had one more session of radiation left at Texas Oncology. Captioning her upload, she said: “Second to last day of radiation.
“I wish I could blame my hair and facial expressions on @Texas.Oncology, but they’ve been great. Hope you never need them, but highly recommend them.”

In her post, shared on her Instagram Stories, Hoover was seen wearing a blue hospital gown over her clothing as she posed for a selfie in a mirror. It’s claimed that last month, Colleen told those close to her that she had her cancer surgically removed but was undergoing radiation to prevent it from returning.
She had previously shared that she was suffering from health issues, which prevented her from taking part in promotion for Regretting You, as well as hosting a signing with Lukas Gage. “I’m super bummned, but am having an unavoidable surgery and can’t travel for a while,” she told fans on Instagram in October.
Colleen added that she was “so sad to miss this movie release and premiere, but so grateful to all the actors and the team who put this together.” The author previously explained that while filming Reminds of Him in Canada, she had suffered from “recurring health issues,” which she put off until filming had wrapped.
On a Facebook post, she reportedly said: “When I returned home, I found out I had cancer,” she added that the cancer had “been removed through surgery.”
Colleen continued: “While it felt huge and scary for a bit, and I had to miss out on the Regretting You premiere, and some other important career and personal moments, I just wasn’t ready to share with anyone until I knew what the outcome would be.”
However, while Colleen’s latest book, Woman Down, is set for release today, she said that she hadn’t set up a promotional tour with fans due to her health. She commented: “I wanted to make this post and be transparent about why that is. I’m not saying I won’t be up to doing at least one signing, but I just won’t know until I know.”
But, she told fans that she was “relieved and lucky that it was a comparatively quick experience,” while urging fans to “listen” to their body if they noticed “something was off.”
Her biggest movie, It Ends With Us, starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni racked up an impressive $148 million in domestic box office and $350 million across the globe.
