The author of It Ends With Us, Colleen Hoover, has shared that she is undergoing cancer treatment.
The 46-year-old shared on social media that she has one day of radiation left as part of her treatment.
‘Second to last day of radiation,’ read the Instagram Story the author shared, with a selfie of her in a hospital gown with a grimacing expression.
‘I wish I could blame my hair and facial expressions on @Texas.Oncology, but they’ve been great. Hope you never need them, but highly recommend them.’
Hoover has spoken about her health issues on social media in recent months, but she did not share what type of cancer she has been diagnosed with.
In a separate post earlier this month, the author shared that she had consulted with a geneticist to learn more about her diagnosis, confirming her cancer was not caused by family genes, HPV or excessive hormones.
‘This means it was more than likely environmental/lifestyle, which is lack of exercise, poor diet and stress,’ Hoover wrote to her fans on Facebook.
‘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.
‘If you see me at the gym, don’t even tell me good job. If you see me at a restaurant eating grilled chicken and drinking water, I’m probably real mad about it.’
It comes after Hoover was unable to promote her latest film adaptation Regretting You, due to surgery, which she said she was ‘super bummed’ about last year in an Instagram post.
She added that she was ‘so sad to miss this movie release and premiere, but so grateful to all the actors and the team who put this together.’
The film starred McKenna Grace and How to Train Your Dragon’s Mason Thames, as well as Allison Williams and Dave Franco in supporting roles.
Hoover is a best-selling author and BookTok favourite, with over 20 titles to her name, including another on the way this month, Woman Down.
There’s also a churning pipeline to convert her pages into on-screen scenes, with Reminders of Him and Verity (with Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett) set for release this year.
It Ends With Us did business at the box office in 2024, but has been overshadowed by the legal quagmire left in its wake between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
