Summary
- Jill Martin requires surgery for skin damage from cancer radiation.
- This is Martin's eighth surgery since her 2023 breast cancer diagnosis.
- She is returning to the hospital as a reconstructive patient, not cancer.
Lifestyle contributor Jill Martin is set to undergo additional surgery due to complications arising from her breast cancer treatment. The 49-year-old journalist revealed on January 9, 2026, that she requires an urgent procedure to address skin damage resulting from radiation therapy. Martin clarified that she is returning to the hospital as a reconstructive patient, not a cancer patient, stating her cancer is not back.
This upcoming surgery will be Martin's eighth since her Stage 2 breast cancer diagnosis in 2023. Her treatment regimen has included a double mastectomy, lymph node removal, chemotherapy, radiation, and reconstructive surgery. Doctors explain that radiation can cause skin breakdown, especially after a mastectomy, necessitating procedures like skin grafts to reinforce healing areas and prevent infection.
