On Thursday, Shearer shared thatshe began chemotherapyas she lives with breast cancer.
Alongside a photo of her sitting in a recliner with a blanket and a pillow, as well as cords and IVs, the Netflix starwrote, “Today marked my first day of Chemo. As the day approached, I started sleeping less, worrying more, and even had one big tantrum last night that I can only describe as a child who’s next in line for a huge roller coaster, and last minute screams, ‘I can’t do this!! Let me off!’ No one was letting me off the ride, but everyone let me cry as long as I needed to. When I was done, I picked myself up, took a walk with the kids, and laughed at [daughter] Sutton’s jokes. There’s no better medicine than a walk and a laugh.”
She added that she prepared the best she could for the day, bringing “blankets, snacks, and supplies. I’m sure it looked like we were planning on staying the week instead of 4 hours.”

Shearer shared that she, her mother and John were taken to the room where she would receive treatment, and hospital workers “started going through the medical cocktail I was about to receive.”
“It doesn’t help with the nerves that this treatment is called the Red Devil. When this is all over with, I’m going to work on a rebrand… that name sucks,” she continued, adding that she found relief after the infusion officially began.
“I was in a very comfy recliner (I’m going to need to name this one too) that even had massage and heat settings… and there were warm blankets and snacks! I read a book, watched Netflix, and then it was over.”

Concluded Shearer: “And now I get to play the very fun game of: ‘Is this a side effect?’ for the next 5 months. But right now I’m only focusing on today, and today I feel pretty decent! I’ll take the win where I can get it.”
Last month,she announced that she has breast cancer, telling fans that she found a lump in February. She had a double mastectomy April 8.
“I have to admit, for the first few days I endured the ‘why me’ feelings,” shewroteat the time. “But quickly, I started to think ‘honestly, why NOT me?!’ I have all the support, resources, and a platform to help other people through this. So if anyone has to have breast cancer, I’ll gladly let it be me.”
