Multiple award-winning pop star, Taylor Swift who revealed that her mom was diagnosed with cancer four years ago has once again disclosed that her mother, Andrea Swift is battling the disease once again.

Four years after first revealing to fans her mom was diagnosed with cancer, Taylor Swift has now shared again that her mom is once again facing the disease.

The 29-year-old songstress wrote,

“I’ve had to learn how to handle serious illness in my family. Both of my parents have had cancer, and my mom is now fighting her battle with it again. It’s taught me that there are real problems and then there’s everything else. My mom’s cancer is a real problem. I used to be so anxious about daily ups and downs. I give all of my worry, stress, and prayers to real problems now.”

It would be recalled that in April of 2015, Swift posted to Tumblr about her mother’s ailment.

“Hey Guys,

I’m writing to you with an update I wish I wasn’t giving you, but it’s important and I’m used to sharing important events in my life with you. Usually when things happen to me, I process them and then write music about how I feel, and you hear it much later. This is something my family and I thought you should know about now.

For Christmas this year, I asked my mom that one of her gifts to me be her going to the doctor to get screened for any health issues, just to ease some worries of mine. She agreed and went in to get checked. There were no red flags and she felt perfectly fine, but she did it just to get me and my brother off her case about it.

The results came in, and I’m saddened to tell you that my mom has been diagnosed with cancer. I’d like to keep the details of her condition and treatment plans private, but she wanted you to know.

She wanted you to know because your parents may be too busy juggling everything they’ve got going on to go to the doctor, and maybe you reminding them to go get checked for cancer could possibly lead to an early diagnosis and an easier battle. Or peace of mind in knowing that they’re healthy and there’s nothing to worry about. She wanted you to know why she may not be at as many shows this tour. She’s got an important battle to fight.

“Thank you for caring about my family so much that she would want me to share this information with you. I hope and pray that you never get news like this.

“Love you.

Taylor”

We reported earlier that Swift recently addressed her feud with the reality TV star, Kim Kardashian and how she dealt with the latter calling her a snake.
