Singer Rebecca Crews — who is married to “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star Terry Crews — was diagnosed with breast cancer only weeks ago, and has since undergone a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. “Though it was Stage 1, you’re overwhelmed with fear,” Rebecca, 54, shared with People of her experience. “Like cancer is this all-consuming, all-powerful evil entity.” Twelve years ago, the mother of five had a small, pre-cancerous lump removed from her right breast, and last year, Rebecca’s mother had a cancerous lump removed — prompting Rebecca to take extra precautions in terms of screenings.
Following her most recent doctor’s appointment a few weeks ago, Rebecca received a phone call confirming she had breast cancer while sitting in her.
