Ally Hague, the wife of Nashville Predators defenseman Nicolas Hague, provided a hopeful update after being diagnosed with colon cancer last year at the age of 26.
“15 months of this cancer battle, 5 procedures, 2 major surgeries, 6 rounds of chemo, 1 round of IVF, countless scans, and 10 rounds of immunotherapy left. Today – August 11th I finally get to say that I beat cancer ✨,” Ally shared via Instagram on Tuesday, August 11.
Ally shared a carousel of photos from throughout her cancer journey, most of which featured Nicolas, 27, by her side.
“Cancer has taught me to have more patience & strength, and to love myself through all the changes and embrace all the simple things in life,” Ally said. “The hardest & scariest chapter of my life is officially behind me.”
She continued, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all those who have shown me endless love and support through flowers, care packages, food, kind messages, and to those who have prayed over me from near and far.”
Ally thanked her doctors and nurses at Nashville’s Vanderbilt University, who she said “have shown me the ultimate care and compassion throughout my journey.”
“I’m such a lucky girl to have the best people surround me on my special milestone today 💙 time to get my sparkle back!!!!” Ally concluded her post.
The Hagues opened up about her cancer diagnosis in a video for the Nashville Predators Foundation in March.
“I never thought colon cancer would be part of my journey, but I was diagnosed at 26 years old,” Ally said.
Nicolas added, “Now we know colon cancer can affect anyone, even at an early age and it often begins without symptoms.”
The hockey star explained that “early detection saved Ally’s life.”
“If sharing my story helps just one person, it’s worth it,” Ally said. “Talk to your doctors now about getting screened.”
In a separate interview with Predators reporter Brooks Bratten in March, Ally admitted she had been on a “weird journey” since her diagnosis.
“It was very unexpected,” she said. “Especially just being so young. I live a very healthy, active lifestyle, especially with [Nicolas] playing sports and everything around that. It was just really hard to hear that, in a sense. Very shocking.”
Ally and Nicolas got married in July 2024, and celebrated their two-year anniversary earlier this year.
“2 years into forever 🕊️ ,” Ally shared via Instagram. “So proud of the love we share, you’re the best husband to me.”
