Sonya Kraus Details Cancer Battle on NDR, Sets 'Let's Dance' Comeback

She presents recovery as a springboard for a televised return.

Overview

  • The 52-year-old TV host said she underwent a double mastectomy and chemotherapy after a breast cancer diagnosis four years ago.
  • On NDR Talk Show, she described a pragmatic mindset toward surgery, calling the experience ultimately strengthening.
  • Kraus said she expects to be cancer-free next year if treatment continues to go well and vowed to fight any recurrence.
  • She confirmed she has cleared her calendar to join RTL's Let's Dance and will begin intensive training the week after next.
  • Eager to learn ballroom and Latin styles such as tango and cha-cha-cha, she cast the show as a personal project rather than a career move, shaped by resilience built through early family losses.
