Mrs. Landingham has lung cancer. :(

Kathryn Joosten, a two-time Emmy winner for her role as feisty neighbor Mrs. McCluskey on Desperate Housewives, has lung cancer – and she plans to do everything she can to fight it.

"I've got a little hang-up here," Joosten tells PEOPLE exclusively of the diagnosis she received less than a week ago, "but we're going to handle it and move forward. I'm doing great."

The actress, 69, who already won a bout with lung cancer in 2001, broke the news to her Housewives producers Monday morning as she expects her shooting schedule could be interrupted for treatment. "They're totally supportive," she says. "I said, 'If you want to put it in the story line, do it! Tell anybody you want, because the public's going to know.' "

2. Wishing for a full recovery for Mrs. Landingham

She was terrific


"would you like to talk about what's in that report Mr. President?"

"With you?"

"Yes"

"No"

"Why not, sir"

"Because I'd rather not spend the rest of my life in therapy."

3. She was just here in OKC last Friday night,

speaking about her career and her struggle with cancer at a local hospital's women's forum--and I missed it. Damn it! It sounds like she knew about it then but didn't announce it until this week. How sad . . . .

I hope she's around for a long, long time--she's somethin' else.
