Rocker Melissa Etheridge , who revealed last year that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, now says that her body is free of the disease.
Etheridge spoke about her health during a Wednesday (8/3) appearance on the syndicated entertainment-news program Extra.
"I'm cancer free, totally cancer free," she told reporter Jon Kelly. "I stand before you a completely healthy person."
Etheridge underwent two cancer surgeries last October, during which a tumor and some lymph nodes were removed from her breast.
During an unannounced appearance at this February's Grammy Awards ceremony, Etheridge--bald after undergoing chemotherapy--made her first public performance since she was diagnosed with breast cancer last October, sharing the stage with young singer Joss Stone during a tribute to Janis Joplin.
