Musician Linda Perry said her triple negative breast cancer was discovered unexpectedly during a breast reduction surgery she had delayed for years, according to a Fox News report on Perry's diagnosis.

The headline of the Fox News report says Perry was feeling healthy when doctors discovered what it describes as "angry" cancer by chance. The summary of the report describes the finding as unexpected and says it came during the procedure she had put off for years.

The summary of the Fox News report does not say why the surgery had been delayed, how long the delay lasted, or when the procedure took place.

The headline states that Perry was feeling healthy before doctors found the cancer. The summary does not address her health before the surgery, so that description appears only in the headline.

The summary also does not identify the doctors or medical facility involved, and it does not describe any treatment Perry has received or plans to receive.

The web address of the Fox News report places it in the outlet's entertainment section. The source record does not name an author for the article. No other outlet was consulted for this account, so the details reported here come solely from Fox News.
