An NY1 Emmy Award-winning reporter who recently ‘beat the cancer’ has revealed her pancreatic cancer has returned and worsened after she returned to the air in March.
Ruschell Boone, a 47-year-old wife and mother of two, said on Twitter on Thursday that her cancer had spread to her liver and she was undergoing chemotherapy treatment again.
“I am very touched by everyone who has reached out to see how I am doing. Unfortunately, my cancer has metastasized to my liver and I am back in treatment. It’s hard but the chemo works,” she tweeted.
“Prayers have carried me through difficult times. Thank you for supporting me.’
Boone returned to “News All Day” in March after battling pancreatic cancer for nine months and reportedly “felt great” as she completed her last “brutal” chemo treatment.
