Valerie Harper to Discuss Terminal Cancer Diagnosis

Valerie Harper
Rhoda actress Valerie Harper, who just revealed earlier this week that she has terminal brain cancer and may have just three months to live, will discuss her diagnosis on the syndicated medical TV show, The Doctors, with the episode set to air on Monday (March 11th).

The 73-year-old Harper appears on the show with her husband as well as her Mary Tyler Moore Show co-stars Cloris Leachman and Ed Asner.

She reveals that her husband initially hid the diagnosis from her because the projected time she has left is so short, saying, "I didn't get it because my husband hid it. Poor baby; he was so bereft."

Harper's medical team will also appear to discuss her treatment and the rare form of cancer she has, which causes cancer cells to spread into the membrane around the brain. When she revealed her diagnosis to People magazine, Harper said she's trying to have a positive outlook, saying, "I don't think of dying. I think of being here now."
