“I had a tumor in my abdomen,” Hasselbeck explained. “[The] doctor said, ‘Look, you’ve got to get it out by the end of the month. We don’t like how it looks.’ I was facing something that potentially could have gone either way.”

“I did what they said, had a phenomenal surgeon, and I had a scary week where we didn’t know what the results were, but I’m okay,” she went on. “Everything came back okay. Surgery’s not fun, but it is necessary to find out if you have something really terrible in you or not. And thankfully I had the blessing of it not being cancer.”

Along with thanking Fox, the former View co-host thanked her husband, Tim, for his support and for being her “hospital buddy.”

She added, “I’m not a person who thinks or believes that I take a lot for granted, but I certainly don’t take it for granted now.”
