CBS, the network that aired “One Day At a Time” from 1975 to 1984, said Franklin, 68, is going through treatment for pancreatic cancer and is “continuing her normal schedule,” according to a statement given to the Associated Press.

“One Day At a Time” also starred Mackenzie Phillips and Valerie Bertinelli, who played Franklin’s daughters on the long-running CBS sitcom.

Franklin’s TV daughters took to Twitter to send their prayers to the 68-year-old actress.

“Sending out love and sweet prayers to my 'mom.' The incomparable Bonnie Franklin,” Phillips tweeted.

In a Twitter message posted Tuesday afternoon, Bertinelli called Franklin “the kindest, smartest, bravest woman I know."

“Send some of your extra prayers to Bonnie please,” she wrote.

Others in the entertainment world also shared their thoughts on Franklin through their Twitter accounts.

Patty Duke wrote, “my heart and prayers r with Bonnie and her family.”

“Saddened to hear about Bonnie Franklin's diagnosis,” wrote actor Michael Muhney, Franklin’s “Young & The Restless” co-star.
