Simmons said she had a tumor and underwent a series of procedures. In her Instagram Stories, she explained doctors performed a technique that places a small radioactive seed at the tumor site to guide surgical removal followed by lymph node mapping, and then surgery.
“This is the next phase,” she wrote, adding, “I told you it’s going to be kind of a long day.”
Simmons was joined at the hospital by her husband, Jeremy Lock, and her mother, Dee Simmons, who both provided emotional support. “I’m the third woman on my mother’s side of the family to be diagnosed with breast cancer… that we know about,” she said.
Despite the challenging news, Simmons remained optimistic, writing, “After today, I will add breast cancer survivor to a long list of life experiences. I look forward to telling my story to inspire others in the future.”
