Robin Givens Shared Details About Sister’s Death from Aggressive Form of Breast Cancer

*Robin Givens previously opened up about the devastating heartbreak she and her family suffered years ago when her younger sister, Stephanie Givens, died from breast cancer.

Robin recalled her sisters finals days to PEOPLE back in 2016, two years after her Stephanie’s death. 

“I remember the last Christmas we spent together. She came out to Los Angeles and we went to the Ritz-Carlton. It was beautiful here and we had champagne outside and then went to a Korean spa. It was so much fun,” she said. 

Stephanie became ill and was told she had “some kind of virus,” but one week later, on a Friday afternoon, she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. By Sunday, she died due to complications of the disease, via I Love Old School Music.

“She went back the following week and was put into the hospital on Thursday, diagnosed on Friday and died on Sunday,” Givens recalled. “It all happened so quickly that it’s hard for me to even know what happened.”

When she appeared on “The Doctors” to share her story (see clip above), Givens explained, “Friday afternoon, she was diagnosed with [breast] cancer, and she was then gone on Sunday.”

She said her sister “didn’t look sick at all,” and when she went to the doctor, they told her it was probably just the flu and sent her home. 

“My sister was my very best friend in the world,” Robin shared with PEOPLE. “Her passing was a shock. I had someone describe it to me like losing somebody in a car accident. I was so devastated.”

She managed to cope with the loss by focusing on being strong for her mother and sons.

“It was the first I understood when people say you have to be strong for someone else.”
