Miranda McKeon, the Anne with an E star, has been extremely candid about her battle with breast cancer at the tender age of 19. From her startling diagnosis to her battle against the dreaded disease during her sophomore year, she has been open about it.
In her latest update on the condition, Miranda McKeon explained she was preparing for a dose of Lupron injection. The drug is used to counter the risk of early-stage cancer relapse in women in the pre-menopausal stage following cancer surgery and follow-up treatments. The site Breastcancer.org states that Lupron acts in stopping ovaries from producing estrogen. This inhibits the development and progress of breast cancer that contains estrogen or progesterone receptors.
One In A Million Recovery For Miranda McKeon
