Valerie Harper, who’s battling terminal brain cancer and was told in January that she only had a few months to live, is “pretty close to a remission,” says her doctor, Jeremy Rudnick, noting, “It defies the odds.”
The “Rhoda” star and Dr. Rudnick taped an interview with Meredith Vieira that ran on the “Today Show” on Thursday.

The doctor, however, was quick to point out that “at anytime this can change,” and it’s “not a matter of if… it’s a matter of when” for Harper, who has leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, a rare condition in which cancer cells spread into the membrane surrounding the brain.
Harper, who reportedly will be joining this season’s “Dancing with the Stars,” told Vieira, “We’re all going to die, but because I have a finite time — or have been told so by my doctors — I just want to live every moment to the fullest.”
