"Pretty surreal to wake up and find Good Morning America had done a segment about my lung cancer diagnosis. Great news is, thanks to surgery last week, I am cancer free and no other treatment is needed," Micucci wrote.
"I was very lucky to have such wonderful doctors and nurses who took great care of me. And I was very lucky to find it so early. Thank you @willreeve_ and @goodmorningamerica for getting the word out about lung cancer awareness. #lungcancer #lucky #sendinglove."

In the original TikTok explaining her lung cancer diagnosis, Micucci said: "Hey everybody, this is not a TikTok, it's a 'Sick Tok'. I'm in the hospital, but it's because I had lung cancer surgery yesterday.
"They caught it really early. It's really weird because I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, so uh, you know, it was a surprise. But also, I guess it happens, and so the greatest news is they caught it early, they got it out, [and] I'm all good.
"It's been a little bit of a trip," Micucci continued. "I'll probably be moving slow for a few weeks, but then I'll be back at it.
"He scanned my heart and that's where the spot in my lung was noticed."
