“I feel truly fortunate.”
After over two years of navigating the ups and downs of breast cancer, actress Samantha Green shared some fantastic news yesterday—she is now in remission! This uplifting announcement comes after a challenging journey, one that she openly documented on her social media, motivating countless others who are also facing cancer treatment to keep fighting.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Samantha expressed her emotions following the remission announcement. She wrote, “Moments matter. Today is definitely a moment worth celebrating. What does remission mean? I heard that word and honestly, I’m not sure how to react. Good news? Absolutely! Overwhelming? You bet! Now it’s just a matter of more waiting. As every single one of my fellow warriors knows, the next five years are critical.”
Samantha feels a sense of relief, but she’s also cautious. She acknowledges the nagging question that always lingers in the mind of anyone who has battled cancer—will it return? “Recurrences happen far too often. Many of you have shared that very story with me. So, while my heart feels a bit lighter, I’ll continue to wait.”
As she waits, Samantha has decisions to make. Having undergone a single mastectomy as part of her treatment, she now faces choices about future preventive measures. “There’s reconstruction, which involves a series of surgeries. Plus, I need to decide whether to take a medication for the next five years, which comes with its own complications and side effects.”
Before receiving her remission news, Samantha had a PET scan to see if her cancer was still present. She expressed her concerns about recurrence then too, noting, “Here’s the thing… even with positive results, it’s the next five years that will determine so much.”
Like any cancer survivor in remission, Samantha will wait and worry, but her positive outlook and strong support system give her a significant advantage in this ongoing battle. She has consistently highlighted how her mother, husband, friends, and medical team have been her rock throughout this journey. Her remission news is a breath of fresh air for everyone involved, but as she knows, true relief is still a ways off.
For now, Samantha is choosing to focus on the positive and what lies ahead. “I feel truly fortunate, and I recognize that. But for now… remission. I’m just going to breathe.”
