Valerie Harper has terminal brain cancer.
The beloved ?Mary Tyler Moore Show? and ?Rhoda? star makes the announcement in the new issue of People magazine, where Harper reveals she?s suffering from leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, a rare condition in which cancer cells spread into the membrane surrounding the brain.
Harper ? who previously battled lung cancer ? may not have more than three months left to live, according to her doctors.
She was diagnosed with?the incurable disease?in January.
?I was stunned,? Harper tells People. ?And in the next minute I thought, ?This could draw more attention to cancer research.? I think there?s an opportunity to help people.?
With possibly just weeks left to live, the actress says she doesn?t??think of dying.?
?I think of being here now,? says Harper.
