While Cohn did not specify the type of cancer in her latest post, she previously revealed in 2017 that she had been battling breast cancer since 2012. At the time, she said she underwent a double mastectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiation.

Cohn also shared that the disease had metastasized and returned multiple times, calling the experience frustrating and beyond her control.

Her latest health update has sparked an outpouring of support from fans, many of whom praised her resilience and positive spirit.
