Vanessa Trump, 48, has announced she is cancer-free six months after being diagnosed with breast cancer in April.

Vanessa Trump, 48, announced on Friday that she is cancer-free six months after being diagnosed with breast cancer. The former wife of Donald Trump Jr. shared the news in a brief video posted to Instagram by her daughter, Kai Trump, 19, saying her test results 'came back clear, so I'm finally cancer free'. In the video, Kai said they decided to share their mother's story during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to discuss how she was diagnosed and overcame the illness. The pair concluded the clip with an embrace.

Vanessa first announced her diagnosis in May in an Instagram post. 'I've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer,' she wrote. 'While this isn't news anyone expects, I'm working closely with my medical team on a treatment plan.' She thanked her doctors for performing a procedure and said she was 'staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids, and those closest to me', asking for privacy.

The diagnosis received support from her family. Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr.'s sister, responded to Vanessa's announcement with: 'Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery. Love you mama.' Tiffany Trump, Vanessa's half-sister, also liked the post.

A longer-form video featuring Kai, Vanessa and Fox News medical contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier is scheduled to be released on YouTube on Saturday. The fuller conversation will explore Vanessa's cancer journey, prevention and early detection. Dr. Saphier said in the preview that social media discussion of breast cancer is valuable because 'it's reminding people that it is common'.
