Constance Zimmer has revealed she was diagnosed for breast cancer earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette<\/em> actress took to Instagram<\/a> on Sunday to write about her diagnosis. She shared all about the health development she kept a secret during the press tour for FX’s Love Story<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“October is #breastcancerawarenessmonth and I never thought I\u2019d be honoring it with my own story. On March 13th when I was away from home\u2013 I heard these words from my doctor over zoom: ‘You have DCIS, also refereed to as Stage 0 breast cancer.’ The silence was deafening,” Zimmer wrote.<\/p>\n

Love Story<\/em> premiered on Feb. 12, almost exactly one month before Zimmer received the news.<\/p>\n

“Here I was surrounded by women sharing their secrets about their Midlife truths \u2013 and I was holding onto the biggest secret I\u2019d ever held. First, I had to call my husband and get home to tell our daughter in person,” Zimmer wrote. “The mental toll that followed was overwhelming on certain days as I began talking to many more doctors then I would\u2019ve liked. Feeling like my options were limited and most suggested what was the quickest way to get this mass out ASAP, which was a mastectomy.”<\/p>\n

Zimmer took time to decide whether or not she wanted the procedure. Eventually she was able to find a doctor who was able to do the operation without removing her breast.<\/p>\n

“She was the first doctor to make me feel like what I wanted mattered and that made me weep with joy,” Zimmer wrote. “It did take 3 surgeries – 3 weeks in a row, but she did it, she saved my breast and it looks good too!”<\/p>\n

Zimmer went on to receive an Emmy nomination for her role in Love Story<\/em>. During her public press tour, she decided to keep her diagnosis and treatment private. “I then followed my surgeries with radiation, while celebrating my Emmy Nomination,” Zimmer wrote.<\/p>\n

Now, Zimmer has announced that she is cancer free.<\/p>\n

“From hospital gowns to Emmy glamour this was one hell of a ride,” Zimmer wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
