Becca Devens Shares Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Plans for Surgery
Becca Devens, wife of Big Brother 28 winner Rick Devens, says she has breast cancer.
She shared the news in an Instagram video on October 25, after Rick won the CBS reality show earlier that month.
Becca says routine mammograms helped catch the cancer early.
She plans to have a double mastectomy, and the couple said they think that may be all the treatment she needs.
An MRI is expected to help determine whether she needs further treatment.
Rick said their children, Jack and Juju, are doing well amid the news.
Becca also responded to an online troll who celebrated her diagnosis, saying she would haunt the person if she died.
Becca Devens said she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and plans to have a double mastectomy.
She and her husband, Big Brother Season 28 winner Rick Devens, announced the diagnosis in an Instagram video posted Oct. 25.
Becca said the cancer is non-invasive but high grade, and that an MRI would help confirm its location.
She said doctors found abnormal calcifications and necrotic tissue during a biopsy and that the growth was larger than it had been in April.

What people are saying
So that sucks. But we caught it early because I do my mammograms like a good girl and I’m going to get a double mastectomy and that’ll be fun.
The type of cancer I have, it is non-invasive. So it’s probably not in my lymph nodes but also they said it’s high grade, which means it grows really fast.
Congrats. If I die, I will haunt you. ❤️
Thank you all for the love! Becca’s got this. Luckily she’s the tough one. Also, the funny, charming, smart, good looking one.
