To say that Rosie O' Donnell has had an unfortunate summer would be an understatement.
The talk show host, 50, and fiancée Michelle Rounds have recently postponed their wedding after learning earlier this summer that Rounds is suffering from desmoids tumors, a rare, cancer-like disease.

And in another health scare for the couple, O' Donnell suffered from a heart attack last week.
After hearing cries from an "enormous woman" struggling to get out of her parked car, O' Donnell helped to lift the woman. She later felt nauseous, achy, and bruised, with a pain in her chest. Wondering if she could be having a heart attack, O' Donnell looked up her symptoms on Google.
"i had many of them/but really? – i thought – naaaa," she later blogged in the form of a poem.
Fortunately, O' Donnell took Bayer aspirin ("saved by a tv commercial/literally") and saw a cardiologist the next day, who informed her that her coronary artery was 99% blocked, and the type of heart attack she suffered from is nicknamed "the Widow maker."
O' Donnell was one of the lucky ones who survived despite calling for help. She doesn't want other women to make the same mistake.
"know the symptoms ladies/listen to the voice inside/the one we all so easily ignore," O’ Donnell wrote. "CALL 911/save urself."
