Taylor Swift announced on Tumblr that her mother has been diagnosed with cancer, while adding that she wants to keep the details of the situation private. Swift did not specify the type of cancer, but said that her mother underwent a thorough health screening at her urging. “She wanted you to know because your parents may be too busy juggling everything they’ve got going on to go to the doctor, and maybe you reminding them to go get checked for cancer could possibly lead to an early diagnosis and an easier battle… Or peace of mind in knowing that they’re healthy and there’s nothing to worry about,” Swift wrote.
