Taking to Instagram, Somers shared a post in which she could be seen along with her husband Alan Hamel by her side.

“This is not new territory for me. I know how to put on my battle gear and I’m a fighter. Alan has been by my side every step of the way. I can’t even explain how much he has done for me. If it’s even possible, we are even closer than ever,” Somers said.
She concluded, “My incredible family has been so supportive, and have helped so much by keeping the business running so you can still have access to all the wonderful products. Thank you for the continued love and support. It’s only about who you love and who loves you - and I love you!”
Hamel, recently gave an update on Somers’ latest cancer fight, opening up to PageSix about the ups and downs of his wife’s health, as per People.
“Suzanne has lived with cancer all her life. In her 20s, she’d also dealt with two hyperplasia…which is the waiting room for cancer,” he told the outlet. “She has now dealt with her cancer once again. On June 6, she got an all-clear, but cancer is tricky and we will now closely monitor everything going forward,” reported People.
