Linsey Godfrey may play a character who has been through the wringer on “Days of Our Lives,” but in reality, the actress has also had to deal with some difficult situations in her personal life. As a teenager, Godfrey was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and it turned her life upside down. “A month before my 18th birthday I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma stage 3A. I underwent 12 rounds of chemotherapy over the course of 6 months. I actually shaved my head on my 18th birthday,” Godfrey previously said of her cancer struggle (via Soaps).
The actress admitted that she got through the difficult time in her life by riding horses and spending tons of time at the beach. “I rode horses and was at the beach 24/7. My momma said the beach cures and heals everything. Even the soul,” Godfrey recalled.

In 2020, Godfrey celebrated being in remission for 13 years. “I feel so lucky to know so many women survivors, who fought beautifully and are here to enjoy each day as it is, a gift. Today we celebrate the warriors who continue their fight!! We also honor and remember those who lost their battle,” Godfrey revealed at the time, via Soap Opera News. Sadly, cancer isn’t the only health issue that the actress has been forced to overcome during her life.
