'Dance Moms' Kelly Hyland Reveals Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Paige Hyland is taking precautions amid her mother’s health journey.
Amid her mom Kelly Hyland’s battle with breast cancer, the Dance Moms alum shared that she has been dealing with a painful lump of her own. And given Kelly’s journey, she is not taking any chances.
“Guys, I’m about to go and get a breast ultrasound done,” Paige said in a Dec. 19 TikTok video. “I’m a little bit nervous. I’ve been having a lump on my boob that’s been hurting so I’m getting one done on both of them just to be safe with everything going on with my mom.”
“I’m hoping its nothing, just like fatty tissue or something,” the 24-year-old added, “but it’s better to be safe than sorry so were gonna be figuring it out.”
This doctor’s visit comes nine months after Kelly, who is also mom to Brooke Hyland, 26, and Josh Hyland, 25, first shared her cancer diagnosis—invasive carcinoma stage 1, grade 3.
"The first red flag was my significant weight loss," the reality TV alum told E! News at the time. "I lost enough that others noticed and would ask for my dieting hacks, but there was nothing I had changed in my day-to-day to cause the loss."
So, much like Paige, she quickly took action.
"I booked myself a mammogram," she explained. "I had just had one done eight months prior and the results came back clean. However, this new mammogram and sonogram did not, it came back showing a mass."
"I went from clean results to a malignant mass in eight months," she continued. "I was shocked that it had grown that quickly and scared of the battle I knew I was about to face."
And when the Florida native called her three kids to give them the news, the shock of the terrifying news was overwhelming.
"As soon as she told us the bad news, I felt like I was in shock and then quickly hit with a whirlwind of emotions,” Paige told E!. “Not only was I scared, I was angry, sad, and confused why this would happen to someone as amazing as my mother."
"We lost my Nana to cancer in 2019," she noted, "so I understood the long road we had ahead of us and it pained me to imagine my mother having to endure that same feeling."
But four months ago, Kelly reached a huge milestone in her treatments—and it was one worth celebrating.
“I got to ring the bell today,” the 53-year-old wrote on an August Instagram video showing the heartwarming moment. “This was the end of my first treatment… next steps surgery, 20 radiation and 11 more treatments. I GOT THIS.”
