Reality television star Kelly Hyland, known for her appearance on Lifetime’s “Dance Moms,” revealed on Instagram that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The 53-year-old shared her diagnosis with E! News, explaining that she became suspicious when she received compliments on her weight loss despite not making any changes to her routine.
After booking a mammogram, Hyland received the devastating news that she had invasive carcinoma stage 1, grade 3, a fast-moving form of breast cancer. She shared the news with her children, Brooke, Paige, and Josh, during a four-way call, with her daughter Paige recalling her grandmother’s battle with cancer, adding an emotional layer to the family’s journey.
Despite the shock and fear that came with the diagnosis, Hyland’s children expressed their support and optimism for their mother’s recovery. Josh expressed confidence in his mother’s strength, believing that she caught the cancer early and will overcome it.
In the midst of her health battle, Hyland recently participated in “Dance Moms: The Reunion,” where she and her fellow castmates reflected on their lives since the show first aired. The show premiered on May 1 on the Lifetime channel, showcasing the resilience and determination of the cast members.
As Hyland navigates this challenging chapter in her life, her castmates and family members have rallied around her with messages of love and support on social media. Christi Lukasiak and Brooke, among others, have expressed their unwavering support for Hyland as she faces this difficult journey ahead.
