YouTuber Grace Helbig Announces Breast Cancer Diagnosis: ‘I’m Going to Fight This’
variety.comSophia Scorziello editor Popular YouTube content creator Grace Helbig announced that she has breast cancer in a video on Monday.
In her video, she said she received the cancer diagnosis about a month ago. Helbig said she was diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer, which she called “super treatable and highly beatable.” She was diagnosed after noticing a small lump on her breast.
She said in her video that she was unsure how to bring it up to her doctor because she was afraid of looking uneducated about her own body.
