Witt added that she was grateful to the people around her who supported her through treatments and respected her wish to keep the diagnosis private. After returning to her home in Nashville in the fall following a 14 city book and album release tour, she received a biopsy on a lump in her breast that she had been trying to schedule for months.

“I begged, cried, tried to reason with them, tried to convince them to let me help them move — but every time, they became furious with me, telling me I had no right to tell them how to live their lives and that they had it all under control.” The Hallmark holiday movie queen gave a shoutout to her “beloved, brilliant, collaborative, communicative doctor” in the caption of her post. “Although we didn’t yet know for absolute certain until after the mastectomy that the disease was completely healed from my left breast,” Witt said, this “marked the end” of her treatment with chemotherapy drugs carboplatin and taxotere. “Every time I offered to have something repaired for them, they refused to allow workers into their house,” she wrote.

In the slideshow, the “Urban Legend” star is seen wearing a Penguin Cold Cap, a scalp cooling process that is known to minimize hair loss.
