Suzanne Pleshette takes on chemotherapy for lung cancer

Suzanne Pleshette's agent reported on Friday that the actress is currently undergoing treatment for lung cancer. The cancer was discovered during a routine X-ray and was no bigger than a grain of sand. Pleshette apparently feels very lucky and is in great spirits as she receives outpatient chemotherapy at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center -- where the cancer was diagnosed.

Pleshette, 69, is best known for her 1970s role as wife Emily on The Bob Newhart Show. Her other television credits include 8 Simple Rules and Will & Grace. She has appeared in the films If It's Tuesday This Must Be Belgium and Oh God! Book II. And her raspy voice has been featured on several animated films.

Pleshette has been married to Tom Poston, 84, since 2001. Poston costarred with Pleshette on The Bob Newhart Show.
