“It doesn’t matter if you have a terminal illness or whatever, I believe, yes, of course you should live life to the fullest and enjoy life while you’re alive,” she shared. “But I think it’s the cancer that has really made me take stock of my life and change my priorities, and my priority right now is my mom.”

“She’s a tough woman on the outside, but she’s not necessarily that tough on the inside,” Gellar said exclusively Us weekly in 2020. “And now I think people know that.”
