The Home Edit's Clea Shearer undergoes traumatic emergency surgery
Co-founder of the Home Edit, Clea Shearer, revealed things ultimately didn't go how she hoped in another update shared on her Instagram page. 'This is a difficult post to write because this is not the outcome I envisioned for myself,' Shearer, 43, explained in the caption of her April 15 Instagram post. 'I'm currently recovering at the hospital after an emergency surgery that I prayed I wouldn't need,' she continued, alongside a photo of herself laying in a hospital bed. Shearer was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive mammary carcinoma breast cancer in March 2022, according to Women's Health Magazine. A month later, the author and business owner, underwent a double mastectomy. On the three-year anniversary of that surgery, Shearer underwent an emergency surgery to remedy the issues and complications she's battled since her initial mastectomy. 'From the lack of skin I retained following necrosis, to the severe damage radiation caused to my breast and surrounding areas (both inside and out), I have fought and fought and fought to salvage what I could over the course of 8 surgeries. And today I lost the war,' she explained. Shearer shared that she 'had no choice but to completely remove my right implant which means I'm right back to a post mastectomy state.' The professional organizer last went through surgery in an attempt to save her implant in January. 'I am flat on one side and will need a prosthetic,' she continued. 'After a 3 year journey, I can't quite put into words how traumatizing this is for me.' Trouble began for Shearer a couple of days before the emergency surgery. She wrote that her incision on her right breast began to leak 'heavily' while she was on vacation. 'My doctor instructed me to continue bandaging it, and I would have to have surgery as soon as I got back to Nashville. And then he said what I was dreading to hear, 'We're not going to be able to save this implant.'' Now, Shearer will need 'several months to heal' before she moves on to the next step of undergoing a 'latissimus flap surgery where they take skin and muscle from my back for a full reconstruction.' Noting that she is currently in 'a lot of pain,' Shearer said she was 'warned that this will be significantly worse than my previous surgeries, and I can already tell that's true.' And in a continued moment of honesty, Shearer said she's 'devastated and feel(s) a sense of anger,' something she didn't experience after her last eight surgeries. 'I've fought so hard over the years and now I'm right back at square one. I'm sure those feelings will fade, and I'll get through it like I always do. But today I'm allowing myself to just be upset.' 'Tomorrow is a new day,' she continued, 'and we'll see what it brings, but I know for sure my journey has shifted. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming along with me.'

The Home Edit 's Clea Shearer Details Surgery After Cancer Treatment
Originally appeared on E! Online is sharing an unexpected update in her health journey. More than two years after the Home Edit cofounder shared she was officially cancer free after being diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2022, Shearer is opening up about having to undergo surgery for an eighth time. 'I didn't expect to need surgery today,' Shearer wrote alongside a Jan. 28 Instagram post. 'Two days ago, my doctor noticed a wound at my incision site that was open to my implant. He took one look at it and said, 'what are you doing on Monday?' My heart sank because I knew what was coming next. Time for another operation.' As the Netflix star noted, "And since it had to happen immediately, I wasn't going to have time to mentally prepare." "Back in November, I celebrated what I *thought* was my final surgery (at least for a long while)," she continued. "Lucky number 7 was going to be it! But two months later, I'm at the hospital about to go in for my 8th. The scary part about today's surgery is that there's a good chance it leads to my 9th." More from E!

"But for now, I'm going to focus on getting through this surgery before I worry about needing the next one," the professional organizer—who shares kids Stella, 13, and son Sutton, 10, with husband John Shearer—explained. "The good news is that I'm a pro at this point…I can get into my robe, hair net, and yellow socks in record time. Even John has a routine in the cafeteria. We are unfortunately, very good at this. Fingers crossed for a good outcome!" Shearer previously opened up about finding the positivity in her health journey three months after she was diagnosed with stage 1 invasive mammary carcinoma, an aggressive form of breast cancer. "It is something that is difficult to experience and difficult to go through but mentally, I know that every side effect I feel is just a result of this life saving medication working," Shearer told E! News in June 2022. "I know that I might appear sick or feel sick on a lot of days, but it's not actually being sick. It's actually getting stronger and being healthier. Mentally I know that and I slug through the bad days." And after detailing what she's experienced, Shearer—who shared she was officially cancer free that November—found comfort in realizing she wasn't alone. "I need to listen to my body," she said. "So many people are now on that same journey and we're doing it together." Keep reading for more celebs who've opened up about their cancer journeys...
