During Thursday night’s (May 16) three-hour soap-tinged Stand Up To Cancer\u00ae (SU2C)<\/a> fundraising extravaganza, actress Kim Zimmer (ex-Echo DiSavoy, One Life to Live<\/em>; ex-Reva Shayne Lewis, Guiding Light <\/em>et al.) confided her own ongoing battle with the disease.<\/p>\n

Kim Zimmer Gets Real About Real-Life Cancer Diagnosis<\/h2>\n

During a segment in which she and former costar Tina Sloan (Lillian Raines, GL) detailed how their respective characters navigated their cancer journey, an emotional Zimmer<\/a> opened up and revealed, “”I was diagnosed with breast cancer on November 6, and if it wasn\u2019t for a wonderful circle of friends that I have, not to mention my husband, A.C. Weary, and my family\u2014 Rachel, Max, and Jake\u2014 who call me every day, I would have fallen apart.\u00a0I did a mastectomy, and I have my last infusion on Tuesday.”<\/p>\n

The wickedly-witted raconteur then quipped, “I have really nice C\u2019s instead of droopy D\u2019s. I think that\u2019s going to be the name of my [next] book.”<\/p>\n

Though granting she’s “a tough broad,” Zimmer hastened to add that, “if I didn\u2019t have the friends that I have, the support system that I have, the fabulous doctors, and a fantastic plastic surgeon, I would have fallen apart.”<\/p>\n

If you gleam one salient point from Zimmer’s story, she hopes it’s this: “Early detection, early detection, early detection, early detection. Get your mammograms, get them soon.”<\/p>\n

Please join Daily Drama in issuing Kim Zimmer our sincere thanks for her transparency and advocacy and extending her wishes for a complete recovery.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
