Jillian Shriner disclosed her cancer diagnosis in an Instagram post on March 4, indicating she had been undergoing medical treatment for the illness.
“Yes, I have a bit of the C word, everyone,” she wrote in the caption of a hospital photograph. “I know many of us do.”

Gratitude Amidst Health Challenges
Jillian Shriner conveyed her appreciation for the positive aspects of her life, including her journal, family, and “the baby yellow-bellied finches outside [her] bedroom window.”
