Colleen Hoover, bestselling author who has written popular books such as It ends with us, Verity And you’re sorry, revealed that she has been diagnosed with cancer.
On her official Instagram, the author uploaded a story with a photo of herself wearing a hospital gown and sweatpants with the caption: “The penultimate day of radiation!”
“I wish I could blame @texas.oncology for my hair and facial expressions, but they are amazing,” she said, adding, “I hope you never need them, but I highly recommend them.”
The type of cancer has not yet been announced Memories of Him writer has or how long she has been treated for it.
However, one detail Hoover mentioned in her Facebook post read: “I got results back from the geneticist today that say my cancer does not come from family genes,” she wrote. “It also did not arise from the two main causes of the cancer, which were HPV and excess hormones.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers caused by HPV.
“This means it was more than likely environmental/lifestyle, namely lack of exercise, poor diet and stress,” Hoover admitted.
“I’m happy and grateful to be alive, but I hate vegetables. I hate when I have to get off the couch. I hate sweating. I hate when science is right,” she concluded.
It is also pertinent to mention that many of Colleen Hoover’s books have been adapted into films, including Memories of Him And Truth, both of which will be released later in 2026.
Moreover, the popular adaptation, It ends with us, released on August 9, 2024, has been embroiled in scandal since its launch due to a fierce legal battle between lead actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
