Dance Moms' Kelly Hyland Finishes First Stage of Breast Cancer Treatment 'I Got This'

The former "Dance Moms" star, Kelly Hyland, has completed the initial phase of her arduous battle with stage 3 breast cancer, marking a significant milestone in her journey.

The 53-year-old reality television personality recently took to Instagram to share a poignant moment — ringing the hospital bell, symbolizing the conclusion of her first chemotherapy cycle. In her post dated August 20th, Hyland expressed a mix of relief and determination, stating, “I had the privilege of ringing the bell today. This marks the completion of my first treatment… Next steps include surgery, 20 rounds of radiation, and 11 additional treatments. I AM READY.”

Draped in a flowing white dress paired with a denim jacket, Hyland recited a verse inscribed beside the bell, which reads, “Ring this bell thrice well, its toll to clearly say, my treatment’s done, this course is run, and I am on my way!” With a lighthearted touch, she rang the bell a fourth time, chuckling, “Oops, I rang it four times.”

Hyland, who hosts the "Back to the Barre" and "Dear Dance Mom" podcasts, then playfully adjusted her blonde wig, asking, “Is my hair on straight?” before sharing an embrace with what seemed to be hospital staff members.

Hyland’s journey with breast cancer became public in May when she disclosed her diagnosis of invasive carcinoma grade 3, which she discovered after detecting a lump in her breast in late March.

“I scheduled myself a mammogram,” Hyland recounted to "E! News". “I had undergone one just eight months earlier, and the results were clear. However, this new mammogram, along with a sonogram, revealed a mass.”

“I was astounded by how rapidly it had developed and apprehensive about the battle I was about to face.”

The American Cancer Society clarifies that grade 3 cancer indicates “the cancer cells appear vastly different from normal cells and are proliferating more rapidly… High-grade DCIS often has a higher propensity to evolve into invasive breast cancer.”

“It was an incredibly challenging conversation,” she admitted to the outlet. “I loathe the idea of being a burden or causing inconvenience to anyone.”

“However,” she added, “I am swiftly realizing that I am on a long and grueling path, so I must learn to accept assistance from others. I am fortunate to have people who are eager to support me during this time.”

And they will lament, “If only we had listened and reasoned, we would not be among the residents of the Blaze!”

And so they will confess their sins. So away with the residents of the Blaze!
