Famous Soap Opera Star Fights Cancer with Courage

A Shocking Diagnosis

Suzanne Rogers, the beloved actress from Days of Our Lives, has been battling Stage II colorectal cancer. Despite regular check-ups, she noticed something wasn't right earlier this year.

The Diagnosis

After a series of tests, her doctor delivered the shocking news: cancer. Treatment had to start immediately. Rogers was surprised, as she believed she was taking good care of herself. However, her doctor reassured her that catching it early was a positive sign.

Treatment and Support

Rogers wrapped up her work on the show in June and began treatment just days later. The regimen was intense—radiation and chemotherapy for six weeks. She described the daily treatments as challenging but cherished her weekends off.

The cast and producers stood by her. Her co-star, Linsey Godfrey, even accompanied her to chemo appointments. Rogers has been a part of the show for over 50 years, portraying Maggie Horton.

Recovery and Hope

She completed her treatment at the end of July and plans to return to work soon. The hardest part? Constant fatigue, a stark contrast to her usual energetic self. But she's slowly regaining her strength and is optimistic about the future.
