Vanessa Trump, ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., revealed Friday that she is cancer-free, after beginning treatment for breast cancer<\/a> earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am finally cancer-free,\u201d Trump, 48, said in a video<\/a> posted by her daughter, Kai Trump, who leaned over to hug her mother after she announced the news.<\/p>\n

Kai Trump wrote in the caption of the video that they wanted to share her story in part to help raise awareness.<\/p>\n

\u201cOctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about early detection, education, and support for those affected by breast cancer,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

Vanessa Trump was married to the president\u2019s oldest son from 2005 to 2018. They share five children, with Kai Trump, 19, being the oldest.<\/p>\n

Kai Trump said she and her mother sat down with Dr. Nicole Saphier, a radiologist who has been a Fox News medical contributor, to discuss breast cancer prevention and early detection.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to breast cancer, it\u2019s not one size fits all. It feels different for everyone,\u201d Saphier, who is President Donald Trump\u2019s third nominee for surgeon general<\/a>, said in the video.<\/p>\n

Vanessa Trump on May 20 first shared<\/a> that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, though she said in Friday\u2019s video that she had been diagnosed in April.<\/p>\n

In her May post<\/a>, Trump said she was working on a treatment plan with her medical team and had undergone a procedure earlier that week. In an update the following month<\/a>, Trump shared that she had been recovering from surgery for the last four weeks and was expected to begin the second stage of treatment soon.<\/p>\n

Breast cancer rates for women under 50 have increased faster<\/a> than the rates for older women in recent years, prompting the recommended age for screening to drop from 50 down to 40. About 16% of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer are under 50, according to the American Cancer Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n
