Last October, ESPN reporter Shelley Smith announced on Twitter that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. After going through radiation treatments and battling the disease for six months, Smith is “basically cancer-free” and ready to get back to work.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Smith says she’ll be on air on April 30.

And she will be bald.

“I have a friend who is a former oncology nurse who tells me that when your hair falls out, it means the chemo is working,” Smith told SI.
