But the Rhoda actress was optimistic in an interview with ABC that aired on Tuesday’s Good Morning America.
“When you have cancer and they say you have three months in January and it’s October, you’ve gotta feel good about that,” she said. “And the drugs I’m taking … are working right now. So we’ll see what goes. And everyone should live like that, one day at a time.”
Harper, who sought to inspire people through her appearance on the show, told ABC that she hoped her brief run would motivate those with adversity to keep trying.
