Surgery Update
Schofield revealed she was still waiting to learn if she would need more treatment.
In the update, the actress explained that doctors discovered a "large mass in [her] nasal cavity," which ultimately required emergency surgery after her ear, nose and throat specialist noticed it had grown significantly.
According to Schofield, the mass had increased by 5 centimeters, prompting her doctor to send her to the hospital the next day for what she described as "emergency surgery," a situation that left her "terrified."
After the procedure, she said she woke up in the ICU with a "very bloody stuffy nose." She was discharged the following day and sent home with "only Motrin and Tylenol to manage pain."
A friend stayed with her for several days while she recovered, something Schofield said "was wonderful." However, she admitted that once she was on her own again, she still felt "pretty wobbly and weak."
Cancer and Death
The actress documented her difficult recovery following emergency surgery.
Despite the difficult recovery, the actress remained hopeful as she prepared for another scan to determine whether the cancer had been fully removed.
She shared that she was optimistic she had "finally passed the last hurdle and can soon return to normal, fruitful life."
On February 28, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Schofield had died in Los Angeles. She was 62.
The actress had been battling cancer for three years before the disease ultimately spread to her brain.
