Popular YouTuber Grace Helbig took the world of social media by storm when she announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, adding that she received the diagnosis about a month back. In her YouTube video posted on Monday, July 3, 2023, Grace Helbig claimed that she has a triple-positive breast tumor.

Stating how the same was “super treatable,” she elaborated on her condition, saying:

“From every doctor or medical professional or person that has any knowledge about cancer, they have said it is super treatable, it is highly beatable. We are going for cure, not remission, here, which is exciting, encouraging, helpful, good.”

She then shared that she would be getting six rounds of chemotherapy, which will be followed by surgery and hormonal therapy. She also went on to state how difficult it was for her to accept the news. However, as soon as doctors revealed that her triple-positive breast cancer was treatable and had a high success rate, she was relieved.

A triple-positive breast tumor is basically a tumor that has a combination of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and more than the usual number of HER2 receptors. The same can be treated by hormone therapy, drugs, and surgery in some cases.
