1980s pop star Taylor Dayne is sharing her cancer diagnosis with the world and admitted that she was completely shocked to hear that she had colon cancer. The 60-year-old shared that her cancer was luckily caught early by her doctors. However, she had to have surgery right away.

Taylor revealed that she had surgery to remove 10 inches of her colon. Afterward, she was cancer-free but not without any struggles. She said, “I ended up staying in the hospital for 15, 20 days. Which is unusual, because I had a complication. I developed an infection. This has challenged me mentally and emotionally.”
