In an interview with People magazine, McKeon said that she “definitely” wants to return to the industry. Before her career was interrupted, the actress starred in the series ‘Anne with an E’ (2017 – 2019).

“I never thought I would be this happy again,” she said, now with her cancer in remission. “The mental health toll that comes with a cancer diagnosis is so heavy. I would go to bed every day thinking about it.”

During this period, McKeon began receiving psychiatric care. Since then, she has been taking antidepressant medication.

“I never thought I would get to the point where I would think about cancer every day of my life. But now there are days when I don’t think about it. As someone who likes to push themselves to the limit, it really got me down. All I wanted to do was lie in bed, but everything hurt more when I was still, so I needed to cheer myself up,” she revealed.

The actress also recalled another issue that shook her self-esteem: “My hair was a big part of my identity. I really love who I am, I love connecting with people — but I felt like I wasn’t able to present myself the way I wanted to be seen. It created a lot of insecurity. I hated going to parties with a wig.”

With the disease in remission since 2022, Miranda McKeon returned to college in 2023.
