Samantha Harris on ‘Getting Back to the New Normal’ After Her Second Breast Cancer Diagnosis

The former ‘Dancing with the Stars’ host’s days now consist of planning for upcoming Your Healthiest Healthy retreats and ‘booby PT’

In the months since Samantha Harris found out her breast cancer had returned 10 years after her initial diagnosis in 2014, she faced another ride on the emotional rollercoaster she was all too familiar with.

Though these days Harris is “feeling great … I think of myself as cancer-free,” she did have a “setback” after the reconstructive surgery she had in November, a few months after the initial surgery to remove the tumor.
Harris explains that after 10 days of her surgeon-mandated bed rest, she got up to go on a walk.

“For most people, that would mean just go walk down the block to the end of your street and come back,” she says. “I went for two days in a row of [about] an hour of walking, thinking that I was walking at a slow pace — but for me, that’s still an incredibly fast pace.”
