By Cara Emmeline Garcia

Former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres is in good spirits as she shared her progress about her skin cancer.

In a post made yesterday, the beauty queen shared the test results from her last medical exam which turned out to be negative.

She wrote, “I feel so blessed and happy! I had my tests done yesterday (MRI, PET, and CT Scans) and they were all negative.

“From now on, I will need to get the same three studies with radiation every three months for the next two years!”

She offered her praise to God, her family, and all her supporters who shared their prayers during her time of need.

She wrote, “[I am] thankful to God to whom I've always prayed to with so much faith and has listened to the pleas of my heart.

“Thanks to all of you who always prayed for me, did not let go of me and made me part of your family and your prayers. Thank you for your beautiful messages [that were] full of encouragement and love.

“To my mother that held my hand every step of the way, my family and my friends, who always cared and checked up on me, or even accompanied me during this tough road and sent me beautiful messages to keep me strong and let me know I wasn't alone.”

The Puerto Rican beauty even remained optimistic at the end of her post by saying, “This battle is almost over.

“Two years will go fast and I will come out of this stronger than ever.”

It was in February 2019 when Dayanara revealed that she was diagnosed with skin cancer.

She narrated, “Today I have some sad news… I have been diagnosed with skin cancer 'melanoma' from a big spot or mole I never paid attention to, even though it was new, it had been growing for years and had an uneven surface.

“I have put everything in God's hands & I know he has all control... My sons although a bit scared know about my faith and know they have a warrior of a mommy! But if I can help anyone along the way based on my experience, it would be to tell you... PLEASE, never forget to take care of yourself. If you see something or feel something different in your body have it checked... I had no idea skin cancer could spread anywhere else in your body.”

Dayanara Torres was married to singer Marc Anthony to which she has two sons namely Cristian Anthony Muniz and Ryan Anthony Muniz. They separated in June 2004.
