Toni Braxton has reportedly been battling with breast cancer after she was diagnosed with the disease two months ago.

According to tabloids in the States, the 'Unbreak My Heart' singer has been undergoing secret treatment, including chemotherapy.

She is currently starring in a Las Vegas spectacular, 'Toni Braxton: Revealed', at the Flamingo hotel and has insisted that she must continue performing in it.

As a result Braxton has reportedly had to be pumped with an iron infusion by doctors twice a week to reduce the fatigue, according to the National Enquirer.

A source told the magazine: "Toni is a fighter. She initially thought the worst, but doctors assured her the prognosis for her breast cancer is excellent.

"She still has moments when she gets upset and she may cry a little bit - but those moments don't last long."

LAS VEGAS - R&B singer-songwriter Toni Braxton has not been diagnosed with breast cancer, despite published reports stating the contrary.

Braxton issued the following statement on Tuesday to “Access Hollywood”:

“There has been a rumor circulating that I have been diagnosed with breast cancer. After feeling something uncomfortable in my left breast, I went in for a screening. I was very fortunate that they did not find anything and I am in great health. However, I encourage
women to take their annual tests and suggested precautions to prevent this disease that continues to affect so many women.”

Toni Braxton issued a statement proclaiming that she has not come down with breast cancer.

Braxton, 39, is a six-time Grammy award winner who has sold over 40 million albums worldwide. She also performed in the leading roles in Broadway’s “Beauty & the Beast” and “Aida.”

The mother of two can currently be seen five nights a week in her own Las Vegas show, “Toni Braxton: Revealed,” at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino.
