Jill Martin is 'doing OK' physically after undergoing a double mastectomy amid her cancer battle — and she wants to share her story with fans.
Martin explained that “the past three weeks have felt like a lifetime” and despite the fear associated with her health battle, she did smile after her surgery thanks to the nurses.
Later this week, Martin will receive her “exact next steps and treatment plan” from her doctors. She noted that no matter what comes next, Martin will have to have another surgery to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes as a preventative measure to “decrease my risk” of ovarian cancer.“In my case, I will need a full hysterectomy, as I have had fibroid issues in the past. I will also need to take anti-hormonal drugs for 5 years,” Martin outlined.
