The star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta discusses caregiving
ACS Ambassador NeNe Leakes and her husband Gregg, a colon cancer survivor, discussed the stress of caregiving on The Dr. Oz Show on Jan. 17.
Watch and share this poignant and funny 7-minute segment, which includes a look at a healthy colon and a colon with cancer. Dr. Oz shares a recipe for a "colon health smoothie," discusses risk factors, and stresses the importance of getting screened for colon cancer.
The beginning of the segment features a clip of NeNe and Gregg's caregiver video that can be found among our caregiver video resources on cancer.org (scroll way down on the page). In it, NeNe says "being a caregiver is one of the hardest jobs . . . I was very stressed out."
NeNe is best known for appearing on the reality television series The Real Housewives of Atlanta as an original cast member, and for her recurring character Roz Washington on the Fox comedy-drama series Glee.
She also played Rocky Rhoades as a series regular on the sitcom The New Normal on NBC until its cancellation in 2013. She has also participated on NBC's The Celebrity Apprentice and ABC's Dancing with the Stars. She made her Broadway debut as Madame in Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella in 2014 and in 2015 played Matron "Mama" Morton in Chicago. She also had a clothing line on Home Shopping Network before launching her SWAGG boutiques in select cities across the country.
