Jill Goodacre Reveals Breast Cancer Battle

Former Victoria's Secret model Jill Goodacre, who has been married to Harry Connick Jr for 23 years, recently opened up to People about her five year battle with breast cancer. Here's what she had to say:

On taking Tamoxifen after being diagnosed with Stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma:
“It threw me right into menopause. And then there was the weight gain. I’ve always been a pretty fit person, and so to be just rounder and heavier and not to really be able to do much about it — that’s been hard. It’s taken a lot out of my self-confidence.”


Connick Jr on his wife:
“It’s not silly and it’s not vain. It’s a part of how the cancer and the treatment impacted her, and it was a real issue, even though she will always be the most beautiful woman in the world...I knew as soon as I met her that I wanted to grow old with her. I’m so grateful that I still can.”
