In a Facebook post, the 74-year-old Molina says she's been receiving treatment for three years, but "at this point, it is
very aggressive." 

"You should know that I'm not sad," she says in the post. "I enter this transition in life feeling so fortunate. I have an amazing and caring family, wonderful friends, and worked with committed colleagues and a loyal team. Throughout my life I've had the support of many people."
