RITA WILSON'S BATTLE WITH CANCER

Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks have been co-chairs along with Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw of the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, raising money for women’s cancers.

But Rita never imagined she'd succumb to the dread disease. In 2015 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.

After several months of treatment, Rita was declared cancer-free and has remained healthy ever since.

After her experience, Rita constantly reminds people to make regular cancer diagnosis to detect it in the early stages, when the disease offers the best chance of survival.
