Valerie Harper Has Terminal Brain Cancer
Valerie Harper is facing a devastating diagnosis: terminal brain cancer.
The television icon – beloved for her role as brash New Yorker Rhoda Morgenstern on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and its spin-off, Rhoda – received the news on Jan. 15, she reveals to PEOPLE in this week's exclusive cover interview.
A battery of tests revealed she has leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, a rare condition that occurs when cancer cells spread into the fluid-filled membrane surrounding the brain. Her doctors say she has as little as three months left to live.
Resolved to face her last days with courage and humor, "I don't think of dying," says the actress, 73, who previously battled lung cancer in 2009. "I think of being here now."

Re: Valerie Harper Has Terminal Brain Cancer
That is really sad news. I used to watch both shows all the time when they were on Nick @ Nite and TV Land.
And to battle and survive through lung cancer and now this...just sad.

Re: Valerie Harper Has Terminal Brain Cancer
That is sad but on a side note I must say she looks terrific for 73 not to mention having a terminal disease!
