(August 25, 2016) I know that I have been quiet lately and I want to let you know what's been going on in my life. I was asked back to play Eve on Days and had begun my exciting return. During the 3 week July hiatus I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and have spent 6 of the last 9 weeks in the hospital. I will continue treatment over the next 3 months. My prognosis is good, I will not likely need a stem cell/bone marrow transplant, and we expect a complete cure.  I consider this just a bump in the road. I have amazing prayer warriors, family, and friends that have been extremely supportive and life affirming throughout this. I have a strong faith that strengthens me every step of the way. This has been a private matter but with Eve's return coming soon I felt it was time to let my loving fans know what's been going on. The Days and OLTL family  love runs deep. Although I'm unable to be "camera ready" now... my goal is get back to stirring up trouble in Salem soon. Keep me in you thoughts and prayers. Leukemia remains a rare disease and there is a great need for funding and donations of Stem Cells/Bone Marrow, Platelets and blood. If you would like to contribute in some way please go to Cornellleukemia.com and join or contribute to the Leukemia Fighters group you will find on their website. You can also join their Facebook page. There is a tremendous need to find exact matches for stem cell/ bone marrow. If you would like to make a difference in someone's survival please go to BeTheMatch.org and find out how you can be a donor. If you would like to donate blood or platelets which Leukemia patients need a lot of, please contact your local blood bank or American Red Cross. God's got this! Until next time… Kassie

 

Thank goodness the prognosis is good. I'm really hoping she'll be ok.

Oh, man. All my best.

This is sad to hear. I hope she pulls through.

How horrible,  she is so youthful and vital too.  I hope everything works out for her.   

My thoughts are with her. I'm glad she has a strong support system.

Goodness what a blow. I wish her and her family well.

You're right, marceline, this IS a blow.  But, like KdP says at the end of her message, God's got this.

 

My prayers to her, and to her loved ones.

So her return as Eve is longterm? I thought it was just for the wedding. I'm sad to hear she is sick but relieved that things appear positive 

How awful!  I hope she has a speedy complete recovery!

This has me wondering, what kind of health insurance do actors have? They get it through the union, correct?

That's so sad to hear. Glad to hear she's doing well and her spirits are up. 

I'm thinking her return as Eve must've been originally planned as long-term? If she was diagnosed in July and the commercial previews is presumably for events throughout this next month, perhaps she returned on set back in February/March? I'm guessing she's one of those characters Ken and the new writing gang thought, "Why did we let her go? Bring her back!" 

Oh man, my heart goes out to her and her family. I'm glad she's expected to completely recover.

 

I'm happy DAYS brought her back. She's not Eve, but she's a damn good actress and the DAYS fans more or less accepted her because of it. So I'm glad they are apparently keeping her long-term (until the 2017 Plan to Save Days when it's wash/rinse/repeat). They missed the boat on Eve/Justin/Eduardo. IMO they also missed the boat on Justin working with Kate.

 

I'm still waiting for Greg Vaughan's return but I bet that ship has sailed.

 

And Martha/Brandon were brought back but I don't know if it's just to fill out their contracts or if they're being kept. I haven't kept up with the rumor mill much lately and the show films sixteen thousand years ahead ...

Health is everything.  My thoughts are with her.

I adore Kassie, thoughts and prayers her way
