Valerie looked stunning when she appeared on The Today Show, and she certainly did not look like someone who has been given three months to live. She opened up to Savannah, and admitted that her terminal illness scares her.
“It is incurable so far,” said Valerie, who admitted that “she is ready to say bye bye” to her family. She was so sad and honest when she said “I don’t wanna go” and “I’m scared. I’m scared for my family.”
The Rhoda star even revealed that she has tried to reason with her cancer!
“I said listen you little guys [the cancerous cells], you can live if you don’t kill me.”
Valerie said her husband of 34 years, Tony Cacciotti, “got hit like a ton of bricks” by the diagnosis, but they are “committed to facing this challenge together.”
Valerie is so inspirational. She has remained so upbeat and positive with her diagnosis, and her main concern is her family.
Valerie will also be interviewed on The Doctors on March 11.
