“Recouping for another couple of weeks and then ready for my next adventure,” she added. “Onwards! F–K Cancer!”

A rep for the “Palm Royale” star wasn’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

Cohn was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012.

“I was walking around my neighborhood in Los Angeles and I suddenly got so tired,” she told People in 2017.

“I just couldn’t go anymore. This was before Uber was really a thing,” the “Influenced” star said, explaining that she had to text a friend that she needed help.

Cohn shared how she would later undergo radiation, chemotherapy and a double mastectomy within five years.

“It kept spreading and coming back,” she added.

“I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, and then it would. And then I’d wait for another shoe to drop, and it would. I was frustrated and enraged. I couldn’t control any of this. I couldn’t fix it.”
