As previously reported Lewis, 51, initially shared her initial breast cancer diagnosis in a 2020 Instagram post, where she explained her decision to avoid mammograms for years due to concerns about radiation exposure.

“For a really long time, I have refused mammograms, and that was a mistake,” said Lewis at the time while remembering her mom battle cancer after having mamograms. “I watched my mom get mammograms for almost 30 years, and at the end of that, she had breast cancer, and I said, ‘Huh? Radiation exposure for years equals breast cancer. Yeah, I’m going to pass. Thanks anyway.’”

“If I had done the mammograms from the time they were recommended when I turned 40, they would’ve caught the tumor in my breast years before I caught it through my own self exam and thermography,” she continued. “And they would have caught it at a place where it was more manageable. Where the treatment of it would have been a little easier. It’s never easy, but I use that word in comparison to what I’m going through now. Instead, what I’m dealing with is stage 3 breast cancer that is in my lymphs. I need you to get your mammograms.”

 

Now she’s sharing a sad update about the cancer spreading in her body.

PEOPLE reports that in a recent discussion with CNN’s Stephanie Elam and anchor Sara Sidner—who was also diagnosed with stage III breast cancer earlier this year—Lewis opened up about her choice to forgo surgery after her initial diagnosis.

“I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way,” said Ananda noting that she chose to remove toxins from her body. “Looking back, I go, ‘Maybe I should have [chosen a different path].’”

Lewis went on to say that she initially pursued homeopathic remedies, a new diet, a healthier lifestyle, and medication. Though she experienced some improvement, her condition worsened in 2023, when she discovered her cancer had spread.

“My lymph system really flared up,” she recounted, recalling her first encounter with the possibility of death. “I thought I had this, but I told death, ‘Not yet. When you do come, I’m gonna make it fun for you.’”

Reflecting on her decision to decline a double mastectomy, Lewis emphasized the importance of maintaining her quality of life. “I want to want to be here, so I had to do it my way,” she explained.

As for Sidner, she chose to have a double mastectomy.

It’s unclear if Ananda is undergoing radiation now.

In an Instagram comment, she noted her excitement about having the important conversation timed around Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Whew chile! The ride of die is REAL!💖🎁💃🏻🎉,” wrote the host on her best friend Stephanie Elam’s page. “It was incredible to have this conversation with you @stephelamtv and @sarasidnertv 🙏🏽💖 Hoping for the best outcomes for EVERYONE pushing through life with cancer🎀 Love you!

In 2023, Ananda was also a guest on Amanda Seales’ “Small Doses” podcast where she discussed the holistic approach she was taking to her healing.

“What I know is that my body created this,” said Ananda while reflecting on her 2019 diagnosis. “My body did this and it did this for a variety of reasons, many of which I can control, and what I believe to be true is, if I did something to create it, I could do something to uncreate it as well.”

She added that she should have looked into early detection considering her mother’s previous breast cancer diagnosis and detailed how her family reacted to news thats she declined traditional treatment.

“I think the people around me, who were the most afraid were the ones who really didn’t understand the path I was taking,” said Ananda on “Small Doses.” “So again, fear of the unknown, when I started to explain it and lay out what I was going to do, I think people have this idea that if you say natural it just means I’m gonna pop some supplements and do some breathing and hope cancer goes away.”

She added that while people might think her natural remedied are ineffective, she was sticking by her choice.

“But as I went through this process, the natural way was what most aligned with my body, I worked really hard at that,” said Ananda. “I’m a very disciplined person.”

We’re sending sincere well wishes Ananda Lewis’ way.
