Suzanne Somers' Work on Pause as She 'Has Now Dealt with Her Cancer Once Again': Her Husband Gives Details

• Suzanne Somers' husband of over four decades, Alan Hamel, shared the dire details of her health.
• According to Hamel, his wife has lived with cancer all her life.
• After defeating cancer again, the "Three's Company" actress has put her work on the back burner while her loving spouse cares for her.

According to her husband of 46 years, Alan Hamel, Suzanne Somers has been living with cancer throughout her life. He revealed that in her 20s, she faced two instances of hyperplasia, which he described as the waiting room for cancer.

Somers, widely recognized for her role as Chrissy Snow on "Three's Company," has always been unconventional, especially regarding her health. The actress, singer, entrepreneur, author, and health advocate shared her breast cancer diagnosis story, recounting how it all began during the early 2000s.

A routine mammogram suddenly took a serious turn when the technician noticed a suspicious mass, eventually discovering a 2.4-centimeter tumor in Somer's right breast. Facing the news of her cancer, the "Step By Step" alum admitted it was a profound encounter with her own mortality.

Concerned fans noticed her absence from her popular Facebook Live show, where she usually appeared alongside her husband and producer, Hamel.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Somers found a touch of irony in the diagnosis, being famously known on "Three's Company" as the "Queen of the Jiggle," referencing her portrayal of a sex symbol. Despite the challenges, the starlet viewed her platform as an opportunity to empower and assist others in their own journeys as cancer survivors.

How Suzanne Somers Defeated Cancer after Decades of Struggle?

Somers has demonstrated immense courage in battling cancer multiple times throughout her life. Her husband recently revealed that she faced a breast cancer diagnosis in her 50s, followed by skin cancer in her 30s, and she underwent a hysterectomy years ago. Despite these formidable challenges, she persevered and emerged as a beacon of strength and hope for others.

In 2001, the "American Graffiti" actress received a breast cancer diagnosis while headlining in Las Vegas. Undeterred by the daunting news, she underwent a lumpectomy to remove the tumor and subsequently opted for radiation rather than chemotherapy, defying her doctor's recommendation.

Instead, she sought alternative medicine, including mistletoe extract injections from Switzerland to boost her immune system. While not FDA-approved for cancer treatment, mistletoe extract is widely studied in complementary and alternative medicine and is commonly prescribed for cancer patients in Europe.

Somers also underwent a TRAM flap reconstruction for her right breast after her lumpectomy, rejecting the idea of implants. Her dedication to her health extended to her lifestyle and diet changes, prioritizing sleep, and embracing gratitude and positive thinking.

The megastar found unwavering support from her husband, Hamel, throughout her health journey. Married for more than four decades, Somers expressed her deep affection for her husband, praising his encouragement and understanding of her desire to create products that would benefit other women.

The couple's secret to a lasting marriage is enjoying great coffee together each morning and sharing clear tequila most nights at their bar, as it contains little to no sugar. Moreover, they find time to communicate and share their feelings daily, nurturing their bond.

Besides her cancer battle, Somers faced severe hyperplasia in her uterus and a malignant melanoma on her back in her 30s while starring in "Three's Company." Despite these challenges, she continued inspiring and captivating audiences with her enduring spirit and determination.

How Suzanne Somers Put Her Career on the Back Burner after Fighting Cancer Again?

Somers, 76, recently faced another battle with cancer. Concerned fans noticed her absence from her popular Facebook Live show, where she usually appeared alongside her husband and producer, Hamel. In an exclusive interview, the TV host revealed that his wife has been dealing with health issues: "She has now dealt with her cancer once again." But on June 6, she received the reassuring news that she was cancer-free.

Regarding her "insidious" cancer battle spanning over five decades, Somers expressed, "My cancer is a disease that affected my whole family, and once it hit me in my 20s, Alan and I got even closer, and every moment of every day was precious. We have not spent even one day apart in over 42 years. That's the big upside of my cancer."

However, they both understand the unpredictable nature of cancer and have decided to prioritize Somers' health by putting work on the back burner for the time being. They plan on closely monitoring her well-being with utmost care and caution.
