The experience has changed her perspective, she admitted. "I don't worry about the small things," Rogers noted. She continued, "It's not worth it. I was rushing here, and I went, 'Wait a minute. You're not going anywhere.'"
The Days of Our Lives star leaned on her priest and her family for support as she navigated her diagnosis.
The day before starting treatments, she told her priest about her diagnosis. He took her to the altar at their church and anointed her, a special church ritual believed to promote healing and well-being. "I felt that that's what helped me through," Rogers shared.
She is still recovering and noted she's at "about 70% right now." For now, "I'm just basically letting things happen. I'm not making anything happen."
Rogers previously told TV Insider that she pursued a check-up over the summer when she felt that something "wasn't quite right." She admitted, "It was all a shock." She finished filming Days of Our Lives on June 13, and her cancer treatments began days later.
"It was radiation every day and chemo every day for six weeks, and it was tough," Rogers explained.
