‘Facts of Life’ actress Mindy Cohn, 59, reveals she secretly battled cancer for a second time
“Facts of Life” alum Mindy Cohn revealed she has been secretly battling cancer for a second time.
“Have been off social media for awhile ‘cuz i (sic) had to go kick cancer’s ass,” the actress wrote via Instagram Sunday alongside a photo of herself in a hospital bed.
“I did so with the extraordinary help of Providence Saint John’s hospital staff,” she added, referring to the Santa Monica, California-based clinic.
Cohn also gave a special shoutout to nurses and the oncology department.
“Recouping for another couple of weeks and then ready for my next adventure,” she added. “Onwards! F–K Cancer!”
A rep for the “Palm Royale” star wasn’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
Cohn was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012.
“I was walking around my neighborhood in Los Angeles and I suddenly got so tired,” she told People in 2017.
“I just couldn’t go anymore. This was before Uber was really a thing,” the “Influenced” star said, explaining that she had to text a friend that she needed help.
Cohn shared how she would later undergo radiation, chemotherapy and a double mastectomy within five years.
“It kept spreading and coming back,” she added.
“I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, and then it would. And then I’d wait for another shoe to drop, and it would. I was frustrated and enraged. I couldn’t control any of this. I couldn’t fix it.”
At the time, Cohn revealed she was declared cancer-free and was looking forward to taking on new roles on the big screen.
