Colleen Hoover Nears End of Radiation After Cancer Surgery

She reports genetic results pointing away from hereditary or HPV-related causes, with treatment limited to surgery plus radiation.

Overview

  • Hoover shared an Instagram Story on Jan. 12 showing a hospital-gown selfie and noting it was her second-to-last radiation session at Texas Oncology.
  • She first disclosed the diagnosis in December to a private Facebook group, saying the tumor had been removed surgically and that chemotherapy was not required.
  • On Jan. 9, she told fans genetic testing indicated the cancer was not inherited and not tied to excessive hormones or HPV, suggesting environmental or lifestyle factors in her view.
  • Health setbacks led her to miss the Regretting You premiere and other appearances, and she has not scheduled a tour for her new novel Woman Down, which published Jan. 13.
  • Her screen projects continue, with Reminders of Him slated for theatrical release on March 13, 2026, as other adaptations, including Verity, move forward.
