D’Anda Simmons is sharing a difficult medical update.
The Real Housewives of Dallas alum said she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will be treated at a hospital in Dallas that her family coincidentally helped start.
“Today is the day!” Simmons wrote in her July 29 Instagram post. “I didn’t think I would be the recipient of care at the UTSW Simmons Cancer Center my uncle Harold Simmons and his Foundation established almost 30 years ago, but now I have breast cancer.”
Noting her gratitude for the hospital’s medical staff, she optimistically added, “After today, I will add breast cancer survivor to a long list of life experiences. I look forward to telling my story to inspire others in the future.”
“Thank you to everyone that has sent prayers and support to my family and me,” the 56-year-old concluded. “We appreciate it so very much and love having your support.”
