Kim Zimmer Opens Up About Breast Cancer Diagnosis
In a poignant moment, Kim Zimmer disclosed that she herself had received a breast cancer diagnosis in November. She stated, “I was diagnosed with breast cancer on November 6, and if it wasn’t for a wonderful circle of friends that I have, not to mention my husband, A.C. Weary, and my family—Rachel, Max, and Jake—who call me every day, I would have fallen apart. I did a mastectomy, and I have my last infusion on Tuesday.” Additionally, she emphasized, “I mean, I’m a tough broad, and I handled this, but if I didn’t have the friends that I have, the support system that I have, the fabulous doctors, and a fantastic plastic surgeon, I would have fallen apart.” Zimmer passionately urged, “Get your mammograms; get them soon.” She also assured that she would soon share more of her story.
