Micucci first disclosed the diagnosis of her lung cancer in a video posted on December 9 that she underwent surgery for lung cancer, according to People.
"Hey everybody, this is not a TikTok, it's a ‘Sick Tok,’” Micucci said, adding "I’m in the hospital but it’s because I had lung cancer surgery yesterday. They caught it really early."
"It’s really weird, because I’ve never smoked a cigarette in my life so uh, you know, it was a surprise."
"But also I guess, also, it happens and so the greatest news is they caught it early, they got it out, I’m all good," she continued.
"It’s been a little bit of a trip and [I’ll] probably be moving slow for a few weeks but then I’ll be back at it." Micucci added.
