After just announcing that she will be starring in her own sitcom on ABC next year, Melissa Etheridge just came out, admitting she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Luckily she and her doctor were able to assess this at a very early stage. Melissa unfortunately had to cancel the remaining dates of her Lucky Tour, we all are wishing Melissa and her family the best. Melissa is on the COVER of the Nov. 1 People Magazine, featured in an article about her own cancer, along with other women fighting the disease. On her own Web site, Melissa writes: ‘I am at home recovering from my two surgeries…. But the good news is they took out the tumor and a few lymph nodes, only one of which was positive … . I will be entering the phase of chemotherapy next. … I will be writing songs for the greatest hits album and after … (The Pink album, maybe?)I will be working on the pilot for ABC, and hanging with Tammy and the kids. … PLEASE vote on Nov. 2, and I will be back rockin’ in just a few months!’
