Days of Our Lives star Suzanne Rogers is opening up about being diagnosed with stage 2 colon cancer.

The veteran actress — who has played soap favorite Maggie Horton for over five decades — told TV Insider in an interview published on Thursday, October 30, that she made a doctor’s appointment after feeling that something “wasn’t quite right” over the summer.

Rogers’ doctor sent her for a colonoscopy, after which she spoke to a surgeon. “He said, ‘I want you to have an MRI and I want you to have a PET scan, and I’m going to do a biopsy.’ And the minute he said that, I knew that it was something more,” the actress said.

Rogers, 82, told the outlet that she went into the hospital for another procedure, after which she was diagnosed with stage 2 colorectal cancer.
