The Cancer is Spreading *

NY1 news anchor Ruschell Boone revealed that her battle with cancer has taken a devastating turn for the worse. After bravely returning to the air following her previous treatment for pancreatic cancer, the 47-year-old journalist shared that her cancer has metastasized in her liver, prompting her to undergo treatment once again.

Boone took to Twitter to share the news with her followers, expressing her gratitude for the outpouring of support she received during her challenging journey. "I’m very touched by all who reached out to see how I’m doing. Unfortunately, my cancer has metastasized in my liver and I’m back in treatment. It’s rough, but the chemo is working," she tweeted. "Prayers have carried me through the difficult moments. Thank u for rooting for me."

The news has sent shockwaves through the media industry and touched the hearts of viewers who have come to love Boone as a respected and beloved member of the NY1 team. Upon learning about Boone's situation, The Post reached out for a comment from the anchor.

In response, a NY1 spokesperson shared the network's concern and support for Boone during this challenging time. "Ruschell is a beloved member of our team. Her first priority is her health, as it should be, so she is taking time off as needed," the spokesperson stated.

Boone's journey with cancer has been an emotional rollercoaster for her and those who followed her battle. After facing a nine-month struggle with pancreatic cancer, she displayed incredible strength and resilience by returning to the anchor chair at the Charter Communications-owned network in March.

During her triumphant comeback, Boone shared candidly with viewers about the harsh realities of chemotherapy, describing it as "so brutal." Despite the challenges, she remained positive and reassured her audience that she was "feeling great."

Unfortunately, the recent setback has put her return to the newsroom on hold indefinitely, as there is currently no timetable for her comeback. The network is understanding of her situation and is fully supportive of her taking all the time necessary to focus on her health and well-being.
