Latvian journalist Inese Supe has announced on the social network Facebook that her cancer has returned for the third time. Supe, who is 47, now faces another surgery soon. She has spoken openly about her health for several years, and her latest update concerns readers who have followed her fight with the illness.

In her post, Supe says she has learned over time to accept this harsh reality and now treats it almost as the norm. She described her experience with humour: cut off one of the dragon's heads and two grow back in its place. Even so, she is determined not to let the disease stop her life. She stresses that the operation does not bring life to a halt, that she still trusts her doctor, and that she knows everything will be fine.

Course of the illness

Inese Supe was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023. Since then she has undergone chemotherapy and major surgeries, including a double mastectomy, the surgical removal of breast tissue from both breasts.

In the summer of 2025, the journalist revealed that the disease had come back for the first time. Doctors then found the recurrence in a lymph node in the armpit. It was followed by another operation and radiation therapy.

The latest announcement marks the third return of the illness. The source does not say exactly when the upcoming operation will take place.
