Marlyne Barrett is thankful for all the support.
Marlyne Barrett has acknowledged her battle with uterine and ovarian cancer and thanked her supporters.
The 44-year-old Chicago Med actress thanked her fans in an Instagram post on Wednesday for their sweet sentiments after learning of her diagnosis.
"I am blown away at the support and love that I've received," she captioned the post. "Thank you for the encouragement. It means a lot to me and my family at this time."
The actress also gave credit to her Chicago Med and Wolf Entertainment families for their assistance.
"I can't do this without so many people getting involved to support me. It's actually physically impossible!" Barrett said. "To those who facilitate day in and day out, in order for me to come to work to do what I do, thank you!"
"It's beyond words how grateful my husband and I are. To this extended family around the world, I pray we as people remember how BIG life is and how much LOVE can do in a person’s life," she continued.
"With that being said ... Tonight's episode of #chicagomed is special because it was hard to shoot the first two episodes for me. I think you will enjoy what we managed to bring together. This encouragement has blown my mind!"
When doctors told Barrett she had a football-sized tumor on her uterus and left ovary, they gave her the initial diagnosis in July.
