Katie Thurston said her “fellow sister” Ananda Lewis’ death from breast cancer had her “spiraling” for a day about her own diagnosis. She admitted that it's scary to have her tumor inside her body and said she is anxiously awaiting her double mastectomy.

Ananda Lewis, the former MTV and BET host who became a beloved television personality in the 1990s with her warmth and authenticity, has died. She was 52. Her sister, Lakshmi Emory, confirmed Lewis' death in a Facebook post Wednesday.
