legend Cheri Oteri revealed she underwent surgery for breast and shared the unlikely first lady who gave her support. 

The 63-year-old actress, who recently opened up about her health journey during Thursday's episode of the Dear Chelsea podcast. 

Oteri was diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) and recently underwent her second lumpectomy after catching the disease 'early.'

The star positively expressed that she feels 'great' following the procedure while adding that 'everything looks normal and fine.'

DCIS is an 'early form of breast cancer' and occurs when 'cancer cells are confined inside a milk duct in the breast' and 'haven't spread into the breast tissue,' per Mayo Clinic. 

Oteri then recalled to host about an event she attended where she had a conversation with former first lady and told her of her breast cancer diagnosis. 

She had been a guest at a Milken Institute dinner which took place in May and struck up a conversation with Biden over their love of the state of Pennsylvania. 

Oteri was notably born in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania before relocating to Los Angeles in her 20s. 

'My time on SNL was one of limitless creativity, endorphin-releasing highs, and soul-crushing lows,' she added; seen with Friends alum David Schwimmer in 1995
