Lowe Remains Strong Through Breast Cancer Diagnosis
In October 2025, Lowe revealed that she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.
“In February of 2025, while getting ready one morning, I noticed a large mass in my right breast. In that moment, everything else fell away,” Lowe wrote in a touching essay in PEOPLE. “On a rainy Friday in late August, I learned that I had Stage 3 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.”
She continued, “My next step was to call my colleagues. When I called Annie Howell at Hallmark to tell her the news, I was terrified. What if I never work again? What if they forget me? But nothing could be further from the truth. Annie and the entire Hallmark family embraced me fully, and told me that they had my back.”
In an October 10, 2025 Instagram post, Lowe wrote an inspiring message to her fans in the caption: “I truly hope this helps other people going through this journey right now. It’s been tough but I know I’ll get through it. This is the beginning. Not the end.”
As Lowe wrote in her essay, her Hallmark family stood by her. In the comment section of her post, many Hallmark actors left messages of love and support:
“I will be praying for you and holding you close in my heart❤️” wrote Lacey Chabert.
Nikki DeLoach wrote, “Sending you all the love and prayers and we are here for you. You are a force. The fact that you trying to help others while you are going through this yourself speaks to your heart and your strength.”
“Sending you so much love Crystal. ❤️” wrote Pascale Hutton.
Ashley Williams wrote, “Love you so much. It’s an honor to be near you right now and witness this journey. ❤️❤️”
“You are a warrior, Crystal, thank you for sharing this. You are in my heart and in my prayers, honey. Please let me know how I can help you. Your courage in sharing your story is going to help many others. You are my hero. You got this! ❤️” wrote Barbara Niven.
