Kassie DePaiva Recalls Discovering Her Leukemia

Days of Our Lives star Kassie DePaiva shared on a recent podcast how she learned that she had leukemia. And the actress also described her additional health scare just months after her diagnosis of leukemia.

Kassie’s health scare began when her doctors told her that she had acute myeloid leukemia in July 2016 after coming back as Eve Donovan on Days of Our Lives, reported People.

And the Days Of Our Lives star recalled flying back to New York amid a break in her filming schedule. But then she realized something seemed wrong. “I went to a country jamboree up at Hunter Mountain,” Kassie shared. “And I’m sitting on a chair lift.”

But then DePaiva felt what she described as “two knots under my arm. I go, ‘That’s weird.’ So I thought, ‘Hmmm.’ And they weren’t painful. I know I didn’t feel bad, nothing.”

And she shared, “I did get breast cancer a year later. I laugh and am like, ‘Can you believe it?’ But I had a lumpectomy and everything was clear,” added Kassie. “And so right now, as it stands, I’m cancer free and happy.”

However, Kassie admitted that she faced challenges in undergoing chemotherapy after her leukemia diagnosis. “You know, you think, ‘Okay, I’m gonna be good,’ and then you get up,” she revealed. “And all of a sudden your body eliminates. I mean it was, are you faint or are you gonna throw up?” 

But after going through all the challenges, the Days Of Our Lives star admitted that she now realizes what she survived. “It’s just yucky,” said Kassie candidly. “And you just think, ‘This is never gonna end,’ and then it does and then you go, ‘Did I go through with that?’ I cannot believe it.”

And at this point, DePaiva feels that she “can’t believe the journey. But I’m grateful.” And she previously expressed appreciation for “amazing prayer warriors, family, and friends that have been extremely supportive.” After achieving her goal of returning to “stirring up trouble in Salem soon,” Kassie will bring back her One Life to Live role as Blair Cramer in upcoming episodes of General Hospital.
