Actress Valerie Harper, 73, recently received some devastating news ? she has terminal brain cancer.
The actress, best known as Rhoda Morgenstern on ?The Mary Tyler Moore Show? and its spin-off, ?Rhoda,? was diagnosed back in mid-January, she tells People.
The tests conducted at the time revealed she has leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, which means that cancer cells have spread into the membrane that surrounds the brain.
It is a rare condition and the diagnosis leaves her with as little as three months left to live.
But the actress tells People, ?I don?t think of dying. I think of being here now.?
She also adds, having been diagnosed with lung cancer in 2009 despite being a life-long non-smoker, ?I?m well past my expiration date already.?
Her fans were quick to express their sadness and prayers on Twitter.
?Praying for Valerie Harper. Puts everything in perspective quickly.? ? Andy Cohen
?Just heard that Valerie Harper is facing terminal brain cancer. My thoughts and prayers go out to her.? ? Marc Berman
?@ValerieHarper I adore you xoxo we all do and are praying for you? ? Hoda Kotb
