Ashley Monroe is cancer-free, as a completed PET scan in February showed that her rare form of blood cancer, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, is completely gone from her body.
The Pistol Annies singer was diagnosed back in July, and doctors told her that the cancer was incurable. She underwent chemotherapy treatment in December.
“Well IT DID!” she posted about the good news on Instagram. “My blood work looked amazing and normal and so did my scans! They say this kind is incurable, but I’m just gonna believe it IS curable, and it’s gone forever. That was truly one of the most difficult seasons of my life.”
“I know it has made me a better person,” she continued. “Thank you for your prayers, I truly felt them. I love you all. Ready to make and share more music ! To say I have a lot to say, is an understatement.”
