Former MTV VJ Ananda Lewis Dead at 52 Following Breast Cancer Battle


Former MTV VJ Ananda Lewis has died at 52 following a brave stage 4 breast cancer battle, leaving behind her son Langston and sister

In her announcement video, the MTV personality confessed that fear of radiation prevented her from obtaining regular mammograms, which can detect breast cancer in its early stages. While chatting with friends Stephanie Elam and Sara Sidner for a CNN sit-down discussion on Tuesday, October 15, Lewis, 51, revealed that her breast cancer has progressed to stage IV. Earlier this year, Ananda wrote an essay for Essence about her experience with breast cancer and shared her advice for others who may find themselves in a similar situation.
