‘SNL’ alum Cheri Oteri reveals breast cancer surgery as she name-drops surprising supporter

Article excerpt

SNL alum Cheri Oteri revealed on the "Dear Chelsea" podcast that she was diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS), an early form of breast cancer, and underwent surgery to treat it. The comedian opened up about her health battle and disclosed an unexpected celebrity who supported her through the experience, though the article withholds that name to drive engagement. Oteri's disclosure adds to a growing list of public figures speaking openly about cancer diagnoses and treatments, helping destigmatize the disease.
