Has Debbie Rowe beaten breast cancer? The former wife of the late Michael Jackson and mom of his kids Paris and Prince was looking better than usual on Tuesday, July 10, as she met friends for lunch in Palmdale, Calif. Rowe was diagnosed with the disease in July 2016, and RadarOnline.com can reveal her progress in pictures two years later. Scroll down the gallery for more!

As RadarOnline.com reported last fall, Rowe looked sickly and sported short hair after treating her breast cancer "very aggressively with chemo," a source said. But in the new photos, it looks like her hair has grown back into shoulder-length shape.

Rowe appeared relaxed walking into a restaurant on Tuesday, wearing a print V-neck tee shirt and mirrored sunglasses. The former nurse has always tried to stay out of the spotlight, despite having been married to Jackson from 1996-99 and bearing him two children.

During her battle for life, Rowe has spent as much time as possible with Paris, 20.

In January 2017, Paris announced via Instagram that her mom had completed chemotherapy.

Sources said Paris was desperately afraid she would lose Rowe to breast cancer after her King of Pop star dad's shocking death in 2009 at age 50. But now, it looks like Rowe is doing well and enjoying time with friends and family!
