Marcia, 56, shared a series of A Photo Revealing Hair Loss From Anal Cancer

Speaking on Women's health magazine, Actress Marcia Cross just revealed that she had anal cancer, but is now cancer-free. 

Marcia, 56, who starred in Desperate Housewives,

and most recently, Qantico, shared three separate Instagram posts, saying that she is now in remission after getting treatment for anal cancer. 

In her first post, she shared a photo of her hair loss from cancer: "So grateful and happy to be alive but sad that my hair fell out and is about 1 inch long now and looks cra cra," she wrote. Adding, "anyone else have #hairloss due to #cancer? Talk to me. I feel you."

That post was the first time Marcia mentioned having cancer on Instagram—and it shocked her fans. In her second post, she cleared things up, saying that she is now post-cancer. "All good now. Hard journey, but I am HEALTHY, happy, and more present and grateful than ever," she wrote. She also thanked her followers for the outpouring of love she received after her first post.
