Jo Dee Messina’s Health Journey
Messina has been through a tough battle with her health, and in 2017, she announced that she had cancer. “We don’t know anything specific regarding the treatment plan at this point, but Jo Dee is working closely with a team to explore all options,” she shared in a statement on her website, Mashable reports. “She has taken the semester off from classes at The King’s University, and her last tour date for the year will be October 7 (all other 2017 dates are being postponed), as she will begin cancer treatment this Fall.”
She spoke about the challenges in her life and how busy she had been. “I have been so buried with trying to stay alive,” she said, The Boot reports. “So you feel forgotten, because every day you’re trying to get through tests, or you’re trying to get through screenings — or you’re trying to raise 7- and 10-year old boys.”
