In a new documentary ‘Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival Sunday, the songwriter explained she hadn’t been touring with her husband as much since she
‘Touring has become a challenge for me. In 2018, well, Bruce and I were doing a play on Broadway. I was diagnosed with early stage multiple myeloma,’ she says in the film.

This is the first time Patti has spoken publicly about her cancer battle.
