Beloved Mexican soap actress Lorena Rojas dies after battle with cancer

She had been fighting cancer since 2008. That year, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. In 2013, after the tumor metastasized to others parts of her body, she told Mexican state news Agency Notimex that “[she] was very aware that this disease… is a chronic disease.”

Last year, she was told the tumor had spread to her liver.
