She added that the "Days of Our Lives" production break for six weeks had initially helped keep her diagnosis private from the cast. She said:"It was radiation every day and chemo every day for six weeks and it was tough. It was tough knowing you had to do it five days a week and then you had off Saturday and Sunday. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekends because I didn’t have to go to and see a doctor. I was so tired of seeing doctors. The show took that break, so it wasn’t necessary to get into it all then. It helped me because it gave me even more time to chill and to get myself healthy.”According to LA Times, in 1984, Suzanne Rogers was diagnosed with a condition called Myasthenia Gravis. This diagnosis was later incorporated into her character's storyline, for which she had won an Emmy back in 1979. According to The Cleveland Clinic, the condition is a rare muscular disease that affects muscles in the eyes, neck and arms. In an interview with LA Times, Suzanne Rogers discussed the difficult time she faced because of her condition. She said:“There was a time when I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t eat and I couldn’t swallow. I went down from 120 to 92 pounds in six days. I thought I was going to die.”She further added:"The disease affects people differently. Some are affected in the limbs. I was affected in the throat and face. My face blew up so much I looked like a bowling ball. And I’m a singer. So it was very frustrating for me. I still don’t have my entire voice back.”Suzanne Rogers, who has long worked to bring awareness about Myasthenia Gravis, said that she agreed to have her character share the same diagnosis "only if were handled in a positive manner." She further explained that despite tiring easily, she always made it a point to do sixty push-ups daily and walk three miles to help maintain her health.Suzanne Rogers also thanked her fellow co-stars in her interview with TV Insider for their support after they learnt about her diagnosis and she is now ready to get back to work.
