The “Step by Step” star was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time in her 50s after battling skin cancer in her 30s and overcoming “two hyperplasias” in her 20s, Hamel explained.
“I have had cancer since my 20s. And every time that little f—ker comes up, I keep hitting it back,” Somers shared with “Entertainment Tonight” in July.
“I’m doing my best not to let this dangerous disease control me,” he added.

“It is recurrent breast cancer. As with any cancer patient, when you fear, ‘It’s back’ you get a pit in your stomach. Then I put on my battle gear and go to war. This is a familiar battlefield for me and I am very difficult.”
The blonde beauty is survived by her son, Bruce Jr., who she shares with her ex-husband, Bruce Somers.
She is also stepmother to Stephen and Leslie Hamel from her husband’s previous marriage, and is a loving grandmother to six grandchildren.
