Rosie O'Donnell has received the all clear after undergoing biopsies to determine whether two lumps in her breasts were cancerous.


The 'Sleepless In Seattle' actress, 48, feared she was facing a battle with the killer disease after doctors found worrying shadows during a routine MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan.

She underwent biopsies on both breasts earlier this month  and was thrilled when she received a text message giving her the all-clear.

On a blog update entitled Cancer Free, the star writes:

"A two word text/and everything changes/thank you/amen."


O'Donnell's own mother died of breast cancer aged just 39.
