Vanessa Trump is moving into the next phase of her cancer journey.
After announcing her breast cancer diagnosis on May 20, Vanessa shared an update on Instagram on June 13 about her treatment.

"Sending love, strength, and hope to everyone fighting this battle ❤️," she concluded her update.
It is unclear what kind of surgery Vanessa underwent following her diagnosis, and she did not disclose what the second stage of her treatment would entail.
She previously shared in late May that her family, which includes her five children with ex-husband Donald Trump Jr. — Kai, 19; Donald, 17; Tristan, 14; Spencer, 13; and Chloe, 11 — were supporting her.
"I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids, and those closest to me," she wrote in a May 20 Instagram post.

"Thank you for your kindness and support. It truly means more than I can express," she continued. "I kindly ask for privacy as I focus on my health and recovery."
Ivanka Trump, Don Jr.'s sister, commented on Vanessa's post at the time, "Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery. Love you mama."
Vanessa is also receiving support from her boyfriend, Tiger Woods, as a source recently told PEOPLE that they are leaning on each other for support as they each overcome their respective health challenges.
"Their regular communication has helped both cope with these major issues and interruptions in their busy lives," the insider said. "Even though Vanessa has her children and close friends, she and Tiger have a solid emotional connection. This helps both of them."
